The RCN is playing its last match of the regular season (21st day) at home against Marmande, a quality opponent, this Saturday April 2 at 6:30 p.m.
This is the last exercise of his regular season at Kaufmann. RC Nîmes, as boss, rubs shoulders with its new joint runner-up, Marmande, to pass its last test at home before the round of 16 on April 24 and May 1.
“It’s simple, it’s about staying on our current course and adding a new achievementslips the manager Nicolas Alcalde. Like Pamiers, three weeks ago, Marmande claims to beat us at home and erase our heist of the first leg (9-9). If the strategy is part of the heist… And as against Pamiers (9-3), we will put the points on the “i”. “There are clocks to be resetabounds the captain and flanker Arthur Vernier. It’s on our minds.”
“We will finish first and access the Nationale 2, but we still have one last objective to take up. It’s about remaining undefeated this season at Kaufmann and that goes through this meeting, rebounds the coach Jean-Michel Millet. Or Marmande will come to make a move and erase the draw from the first leg.”
Marmande, it’s tough
The appointment promises. In the same vein as that of Pamiers (9-3) or Graulhet (37-30), the only opponent, with four tries scored, to have succeeded in breaking the Nîmes padlock to Kaufmann.
“Marmande is a pack of mammothsa very good conquest, efficiency on the balls carried, but also individualities with the opening half Enzo Kralfa and the South African center Jovelian de Kokerdissects the Nîmes coach. If you don’t want to be disillusioned, you have to be very serious, show self-sacrifice and put in the right ingredients for 80 minutes.”
Can we fear an unconscious relaxation on the part of a group that has been almost faultless and whose main objectives have already been achieved? “There is always a riskreplies Arthur Vernier, but if there are some small physical glitches, in the head, we are fully in this match. At 120% and without bad pressure. We just want to show that we are in our place before we find ourselves in front of a real game at stake and see, then, what we have in the belly. There is no more.
