After a series of defeats and a final disappointment more than a week ago against Colomiers (19-28), the Nice stadium will have to quickly redress the bar by Pro D2. The break in the championship allowed the Azuréens to breathe, but the resumption this week requires an immediate reaction, otherwise their situation will worsen.
A black series before the cut
Before this break, the Niçois remained in a very complicated dynamic. Despite an encouraging first act against Colomiersthe lack of consistency and costly mistakes ended up ruining the efforts of the promoted player.
The defeat against the Haut-Garonnais was part of a series of setbacks at home, where the team only gleaned one defensive bonus. These results left Nice in last position in the ranking with only five points.
The importance of recovery
With the resumption of the championship this week, the Nice stadium no longer has the right to make mistakes. They will find their lawn facing the Mons stadiuma very important meeting to relaunch their season.
The break undoubtedly allowed the players to refocus on their errors and adjust their preparation, but they will absolutely have to capitalize on this period to hope to secure a place outside the red zone.
A demanding championship that is unforgiving
The Pro D2 is a particularly demanding championship where every mistake is paid for in cash. As pointed out Luca Cutayarplayer of Nice stadiumweak moments must be better managed so as not to concede easy points. With the experience of players like Free Jordan or Thibaud Reythe Niçois have assets, but the adaptation to this competition still seems to be underway. They must quickly raise their level so as not to relive the sad experience of Massywho finished last the previous season.
With the imminent recovery, the time has come for mobilization for Nice. This match against Mont-de-Marsan could well set the tone for the rest of their season.
I grew up in a family where rugby was at all times. I was at the edge of the pitch when Castres beat Pau and joined the elite, I was in the Stade Pierre Antoine facing Gary Whetton when he did his Haka to celebrate the Brennus of 1993 and I was always rocked legends of this sport. Now, it is with XV Ovalie that I intend to extend the adventure. #TeamCO
