AS Monaco Rugby achieve four-win streak with youth teams following suit

AS Monaco Rugby have managed a strong return from the winter break, with both their senior and youth teams maintaining an impressive winning streak.

The club’s first team extended their unbeaten record with a commanding 33-7 victory over UMS Rugby Montélimar at home, while the Espoirs (reserves) added to the weekend’s success with a 48-29 win.

Youth team show promise

The youth setup has been equally impressive, with both the U16 and U19 sides securing victories against RC Le Beausset. Particularly important was the U19’s win as it keeps them top of their championship table, rewarding their collective work.

The club’s École de Rugby (youth academy) has also resumed activities, with youngsters returning to training filled with enthusiasm. The sessions focused on preparing for upcoming weekend fixtures while reinforcing rugby’s core values amongst the youngest players.

In an attempt to grow participation AS Monaco Rugby has also launched ‘En 2026, j’essaie le rugby – In 2026, I’m trying rugby’, offering free trial sessions throughout January for children born between 2012 and 2022. Special surprises are planned for those born in 2015.

What’s next

The senior team now faces its next challenge away at Saint-Marcellin on January 18th as it looks to extend its winning run to five matches.

The club will also host a partners’ evening on February 12th in collaboration with Les Carabiniers du Prince, featuring rugby legends including Jean-Pierre Rives, Philippe Spanghero, Raphaël Poulain and Rodrigo Capo Ortega
