Stade Aurillacois welcomes promoted Nice, Friday October 18, 7:30 p.m., during the seventh day of Pro D2. 17 of the 23 players present in the group in Montauban last week were retained.
Mchedlidze continues
Author of the first try of the game and his first in Pro D2 in Montauban, Irakli Mchedlidze will play a third match in a row with number 1 behind his back.
premium A third line on the wing, a Swiss army knife in front… Stade Aurillacois likes to play with the versatility of its players
Increasingly present in the game, solid in the scrum, the Georgian has played all the matches at Stade Aurillacois since the start of the season.
Staniforth kept in a stable back line
Interesting during his first appearance in the Stade Aurillacois jersey in Montauban, young winger Angus Staniforth will start again against Nice.
The starting back line has also been largely renewed. Only Delarue and Manuofetoa enter the starting XV in place of Alania (on the bench) and Bastard (outside the group).
Robertson-McCoy will start on the bench
Hit in the shoulder, Valentin Welsch will not be able to string together a seventh match sheet in as many days. The right pillar leaves his place to New Zealand recruit Dominic Robertson-McCoy who will make his first appearance with the Stade Aurillacois jersey in an official match.
However, he will not start the meeting. Undefeatable to Jean-Alric, Giorgi Kartvelishvili will once again wear number 3 at the start of the match.
The composition of Stade Aurillacois. Seunes; A. Staniforth, Manuofetoa, Talua, Oudard; (d) Abzhandadze, (m) Delarue ; Tison (cap.), De Jong, Masterson ; Nonkontwana, Rolland ; Kartvelishvili, Loughnane, Mchedlidze.
