Five months later, the scrum half from Racing Club Narbonne made his comeback. For this trip to Périgueux, this Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m.), Pierrick Nova will start with the number 9 on his back.
A long-awaited return to Racing Club Narbonnais. Although, in turn, Pablo Barbaste (2 starts, 2 match sheets), James Hart (4 starts and 4 match sheets) and Erwan Nicolas (2 starts, 2 match sheets) achieved very good performances, the presence of Pierrick Nova changes things. You just have to see his importance last season within this squad. Determining, decisive and leader, the scrum half made his contribution. Except that since the start of the championship, the Quillanais has been absent due to adductor pubalgia.
He arrives at the right time, with a lot of energy.
“The period was long, especially mentally. It was hard to start the preparation, to launch new challenges and right in the middle, an injury happened. Especially since the duration could never be determined precisely. was hard to postpone the deadline each time”plague Pierrick Nova. But this whole period is now behind him. This Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m.), the scrum half makes his comeback for the trip to Périgueux. What's more, as a starter upon his resumption. “I arrive on tiptoe”modestly says the Quillanais.
But for his friend and teammate Pierre-Hugo Ducom, this return is not trivial: “He will bring us serenity. He knows our game well, he can provide the link that we lack between the forwards and the three-quarters. His dynamism and his leadership will also bring us a lot”. Defense coach Sébastien Logerot does not fail to argue: “Pierrick is one of the leaders of the game, he carried the team last season. He will bring freshness. It's an additional asset. He arrives at the right time, with a lot of energy.”
On the other hand, we will surely have to be lenient with Pierrick Nova. It should be remembered that he has not played since the access match against Montauban on June 2. That’s five months without competition. He will certainly lack pace, but his return will not be too much for such a challenge in Périgord.
