Summary:
Monaco Rugby Sevens is eliminated from the French championship in the quarterfinals by the Baabaas Sevens.
Full Story:
Monaco Rugby Sevens suffered a disappointing loss in the quarter-finals of the French championship against the Baabaas Sevens. Despite a strong start and a lead of 7-0, Monaco was unable to overcome the experience and cohesion of their opponents. The first half ended with Monaco holding a narrow lead of 14-12. However, a missed reception at the beginning of the second half allowed the Baabaas Sevens to score a quick try and take the lead. Monaco struggled to regain their momentum, and the fatigue and lack of chemistry resulted in three more tries for the Baabaas Sevens, who won the match 29-14.
Monaco had high hopes for the competition after performing well in previous stages. However, the absence of key players, including three Argentinians competing in the World Championships, weakened the team. Canadian players were recruited at the last minute to compensate, but the lack of cohesion was evident. Despite the disappointment, Monaco ended on a positive note by winning their final ranking match against Stade Toulousain with a score of 26-19. The team is determined to learn from this experience, improve, and come back stronger.
