Monaco Rugby Sevens won the biggest title in their history when they were crowned French Rugby Sevens champions on Saturday, beating Section Paloise 24-14 in the final. 

They were the favourites. They lived up to the hype! After winning two of the three legs organised this season, Jérémy Aicardi’s men clinched the French championship title, after losing to the Barbarians in last year’s final.
