Monaco Rugby Sevens Prepares for Grand Final Showdown in Paris

As the Monaco Rugby Sevens team concludes their final training session at Stade Prince Héréditaire Jacques, anticipation builds for the impending Grand Final of the Super Sevens in Paris. Under the tutelage of head coach James Kent, the team has been rigorously honing their attack-defense tactics, psychomotor skills, and ball-handling capabilities. The squad, which has seen a 50% turnover since their last triumph in Pau, faces the challenge of melding new talents into a cohesive unit within a mere eight days of preparation.

The recent appointment of Fulgence Ouedraogo as the new general manager is expected to inject a fresh strategic perspective into the team. Ouedraogo, a revered figure in French rugby and a seasoned sevens player, brings a wealth of experience that could prove pivotal for Monaco’s campaign. Despite the significant roster changes, with many players absent on international commitments, the team's focus remains sharp on communication and precise execution of roles.

As they move to Paris for the final stretch, the Monaco Rugby Sevens will conduct their traditional captain’s run this Friday, setting the stage for a tournament where they aim to demonstrate their prowess and reclaim their standing in the high-octane environment of the Super Sevens. The team’s resolve to showcase their dominance in this fast-paced format remains undeterred by the recent transformations within their ranks.
