The return of Dean Moxham

Friday, January 22, 2010
Good news for Rugby Nice Côte d''Azur as the back rower dean Moxham comes back from injury for the away game against Monteux this Sunday. Having been out from the beginning of the season with a knee injury Moxham has now proven himself fit having played two games with the B team and has shown he is 100% ready for first team selection.
Even though Nice have already qualified for the playoffs they will be giving it everything in Monteux to ensure that they finish second in pool 3. It will be an important game but without high pressure so giving Manu Boutet and Will Johnson more options. Ross Beattie and Billy Ngawini will be rested. Greg Chambon and Joss Lapierre will be playing 9 and 10, Mark McHugh shall be moving to full back and Julien Caminati will be on the bench. Other players returning to the squad are: François Ducourtieux, Julien Orméa, David Kacharava, Jérémy Benstaali and Julien Roman.
Grant Hill, Alexandre Mezencev, Damien Delmonte, Adrien Malavard, Lomé Fa’atau will be returning for the game against St-Etienne at the Stade des Arboras in February. Ruddy Keil is away preparing for his marriage and Paddy Warwick is awaiting a knee operation.
