Rugby Fixture: Monaco v Bosnia Herzegovina

11.10.2008
To be played at Stadium St Val d'Annaudin, Menton, near the tiny Principality of Monaco, situated in the sunny south of France. This match is not a 2011 World Cup qualifier.

Review
Monacan rugby has had a chequred history in the European arena. Twice, in 2002 and again in 2006, Monaco was excluded from European rugby competition due to playing inelligible players in their teams. Hopefully this is all behind them. Monaco lost to Cyprus 10-19 in Nicosia last October in the 3D tournament on that island.

Bosnia Herzegovina lost the ENC 3C-3D playoff to Israel recently and will be doing all they can to climb back into ENC 3C. On paper they look to be a class above the other teams at this level.

Previous Encounter
1998 Bosnia Herzegovina won 22-16 (FIRA B)

GWC Rugby Rankings: Europe Table-Bosnia Herzegovina 38th, Monaco 41st.

Prediction: Bosnia Herzegovina by 21 points.
