Pas encore relégué, Nice prépare déjà son retour en Pro D2

Sauf retournement incroyable de situation, le Stade Niçois sera relégué en Nationale après une saison cauchemardesque en Pro D2. Néanmoins, le club de Jean-Baptiste Aldigé ne compte pas végéter longtemps à l’échelon inférieur. Le club azuréen prépare déjà son retour en deuxième division et continue de muscler son effectif avec des recrues d’expérience, à l’image du pilier anglais Hayden Thompson-Stringer, qui rejoindra l’équipe cet été.

Un projet ambitieux

Avec 19 défaites en 22 matchs, une différence de points abyssale (-256) et un retard de 23 unités sur le premier non-relégable, Nice n’a jamais vraiment existé cette saison en Pro D2. Condamnés à redescendre en Nationale, les Aigles s’activent cependant en coulisses pour bâtir une formation compétitive capable de rebondir immédiatement.

Le recrutement témoigne de cette ambition. Le capitaine fidjien Waisea Nayacalevu, l’ancien demi d’ouverture gallois Owen Williams et le puissant numéro 8 sud-africain Uzair Cassiem ont déjà dit oui au projet niçois.

À ces renforts de poids s’ajoutent le demi de mêlée espagnol Guillaume Rouet, qui a passé plus de vingt saisons à Bayonne, et le deuxième-ligne samoan Josh Tyrell, coéquipier de Thompson-Stringer à Provence Rugby.

Thompson-Stringer, pilier dans 10 clubs

À 30 ans, Hayden Thompson-Stringer débarque avec une solide expérience accumulée au sein de 10 clubs ! Formé aux Saracens, où il est entré dès l’âge de huit ans, il a gravi les échelons du club londonien avant de disputer la finale de la Premiership Cup 2019, perdue contre Northampton.

Habitué des joutes françaises, il a évolué à Brive, La Rochelle, Pau et actuellement à Provence Rugby, où il a disputé 11 matchs cette saison (trois fois titulaire) pour un essai inscrit. Son parcours l’a également mené en Australie avec les Manly Marlins (Shute Shield) et les NSW Waratahs en Super Rugby. À Nice, il apportera sa puissance et son vécu à une équipe en pleine reconstruction.

Un club jeune

Fondé en 2012 après la faillite du Rugby Nice Côte d’Azur Université-Racing, le Stade Niçois s’est rapidement imposé comme un acteur du rugby français. Sacré champion de Fédérale 2 en 2018, il s’appuie sur des investisseurs locaux et un partenariat avec l’aéroport Nice Côte d’Azur pour développer son projet.

Avec un budget certes bien éloigné des 35 millions d’euros du Stade Toulousain, le club azuréen veut pourtant se faire une place dans le paysage professionnel.

Premiership Cup semi-final draw and dates confirmed

It was a cold evening when I realized I had lost everything. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at my empty crypto wallet. Three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Bitcoin—gone. I had fallen victim to an elaborate scam, a promise of high returns that had turned into my worst nightmare.I had always been cautious with my investments, but these scammers were professionals. They posed as a legitimate crypto investment firm, complete with a polished website, convincing testimonials, and even fake regulatory approvals. Their scheme was perfect—until it wasn’t. After weeks of trying to recover my funds on my own, filing complaints, and chasing shadows, I almost gave up. That’s when I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a company renowned for its expertise in ethical tech solutions and cryptocurrency fraud recovery. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to Galaxy Ethical Tech through their official website. Within hours, I received a response from their lead investigator, Daniel Carter. His calm yet confident tone gave me a renewed sense of hope. We’ve handled cases like yours before,” he assured me. “If the scammers haven’t moved your Bitcoin through an extensive network of tumblers, there’s a good chance we can track it. I handed over all the details—wallet addresses, transaction IDs, emails, and even chat logs with the scammers. Within 48 hours, their team of blockchain analysts got to work.Galaxy Ethical Tech used advanced blockchain forensics to trace the movement of my stolen Bitcoin. Every transaction left a digital footprint, and with their AI-driven tracking tools, they followed the money trail. It turned out that the scammers had transferred my Bitcoin through a series of crypto mixers, attempting to break the chain of traceability. However, Galaxy Ethical Tech had access to specialized de-anonymization algorithms and partnerships with global cybersecurity agencies. One breakthrough came when they identified a suspicious transaction leading to a centralized exchange. Using legal channels and law enforcement partnerships, they froze the scammer’s wallet before they could cash out.After two intense weeks, I received an email from Galaxy Ethical Tech: We’ve recovered your lost Bitcoin. Expect the full amount in your wallet within 24 hours. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I checked my wallet obsessively until, finally, my 300,000 BTC was back.You don’t know what this means to me,” I said, my voice shaking.He chuckled. “Just another day at Galaxy Ethical Tech. Stay safe, and always verify before you trust. Losing my Bitcoin was a nightmare, but it taught me valuable lessons: Never trust unsolicited investment opportunities. Always verify the legitimacy of crypto platforms. Use secure wallets and enable two-factor authentication. If scammed, act fast and contact professionals like Galaxy Ethical Tech.Thanks to their ethical approach and cutting-edge technology, I got a second chance. If you ever find yourself in a crypto scam, don’t lose hope—there are still heroes in the digital world.
