Christa Powell scored his first try for Nice in their round 10 win over OMR.

He ran a great line inside the opposition red-zone, slicing through a gap, beating the fullback before diving over to score in the 52nd minute.

The former Aurrilac and Montpellier Centre has been one of the staples of the Nissa backline this season as they push for a return to the Pro D2.

Their biggest match of the season next up against co-leaders Narbonne where Powell will likely oppose Api Naqaliva.

Nice finish the first block of games with 3 wins and currently lead the competition.

Their latest win against Massy 35-19.

Powell has started in the 12 jersey in all 4 matches and has been a rock for his side on both sides of the ball.

After an impressive road win in the opening round, Nissa again played visitors this time to heavyweights Perigueux.

Powell started at Centre and his side was down 3-16 at halftime before coming back strong in the 2nd half with 2 tries.

They couldn’t get the job done however, losing 15-19.

Nice made a statement in their opening match of the season, beating Tarbes 42-6, keeping them tryless on their own turf.

Powell started at his usual Centre position while Masivesi Dakuwaqa came off the bench in his official club debut.

Big name recruit Waisea Nayacalevu did not play in the match.
