Rugby betting in Morocco: union, league and sevens, from the Top 14 to the 2027 World Cup
Rugby is played with an oval ball, passed backwards and carried forwards, and its score is kept in points. Three codes share the name. Rugby union, the game of the Six Nations and the World Cup, fields fifteen players a side over two halves of forty minutes. Rugby league, the game of the NRL in Australia and the Super League in England, fields thirteen over the same two halves. Rugby sevens, an Olympic sport since 2016, is played by seven a side in two halves of seven minutes.
This page is the rugby root of the 1xBet pre-match Line for Morocco, and all three codes sit under it: below the text, every competition already priced opens on its coming fixtures and their odds, from the Top 14 in France to the finals of the NRL.
Competition, fixture, market: reading the rugby Line 🔎
A competition carries its name and country; inside it, fixtures are listed by kick-off in Rabat time, and a fixture card holds the markets, while outright bets on a competition winner stay in a block of their own, without a date. The same order applies to every sport in the pre-match Line, and the football line uses the same core markets, without the tries.
Bet type | What has to happen | Ruled on |
|---|---|---|
Match winner, 1X2 | The side ahead at the end; a draw is a separate outcome or a refund | Final score |
Handicap | The chosen side wins with the handicap applied | Adjusted final score |
Total points | Over or under the line, for the match or one team | Points at the final whistle |
Winning margin | The band into which the final gap falls | Difference between the scores |
First try scorer | The player who grounds the first try | Match sheet |
Total tries | More or fewer tries than the line | Tries scored by both sides |
Half-time / full-time | Who leads at the break and who wins at the end | Half-time score, then final score |
Competition winner | Who lifts the Top 14, the Six Nations or the World Cup | The final, or the final table |
A handicap carries a sign. At −10.5 the chosen side must win by eleven or more; at +10.5 the bet survives a defeat by ten. A total ignores who wins and only adds the points, and one converted try in union moves it by seven at a stroke.
Five points a try in union, four in league 🏉
In union a try is worth 5 points, the conversion that follows 2, a penalty goal 3 and a drop goal 3; a penalty try is worth 7. In league a try is worth 4, a conversion 2, a penalty goal 2 and a drop goal 1. Sevens keeps the union values, but the conversion must be a drop kick, taken within forty seconds. A yellow card removes a union player for ten minutes and a sevens player for two; a red card ends the player's match.
League also plays to the six-tackle rule: after the sixth tackle the ball passes to the other side, and there are no rucks or mauls. In a championship table a win is worth four points and a draw two; the Top 14 adds an attacking bonus for three tries more than the opponent and a defensive bonus for losing by five points or fewer, the Six Nations gives them for four tries and for a defeat by seven or fewer, and a Grand Slam earns three extra points. Draws are rare in both codes, which leaves the winner and the handicap as the most played markets.
Season 2026/27 in dates 📅
The union calendar gives the clubs September to June and the national sides November, February and March and the summer; league finishes its year in the autumn.

The Nations Championship replaces the autumn series: twelve teams, six from each hemisphere, play three cross-hemisphere matches in July and three in November. After July, France leads the north on 12 points, South Africa and New Zealand share the southern lead on 15, and the November rounds include France v South Africa in Paris on the 13th. At the World Cup, the round of 16 takes the top two of each pool plus the four best third-placed sides; Africa sends South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Rugby in Morocco: the FRMR, Kampala 2025, a first women's side 🇲🇦
The Fédération Royale Marocaine de Rugby, the FRMR, has been based in Rabat since 1956 and joined the IRB, now World Rugby, in 1988. The national side played its first match on 25 December 1931 in Rabat against Spain; the domestic championship has run since 1922, and Mouloudia Club d'Oujda won it in 2023, with a 12–0 final against RUC in Taza, and in 2024.
The men's team reached the 2025 Rugby Africa Cup, the continent's World Cup qualifier, through a repechage against Tunisia at Stade Père Jégo in Casablanca on 9 February 2025. In Kampala, from 8 to 19 July, it lost 8–43 to Zimbabwe in the quarter-final, beat Uganda 24–12 and lost the fifth-place match 28–33 to Senegal, sixth of eight. Zimbabwe won the final 30–28 against Namibia and took Africa's second place at the 2027 World Cup, its first since 1991. A women's side made its debut in May 2026 in Tunis, in Division 1 of the Rugby Africa Women's Cup: 27–5 against Ivory Coast, 0–54 against Tunisia, second of three. League has its own federation, FMR XIII in Casablanca, whose team plays the MEA Championship and met a French selection in Avignon on 22 February 2025.
Rabat time, live rugby and an account in dirhams 📱
Since Morocco's permanent move to GMT, European rugby is watched at the same hour as in Rabat, or nearly so: a Top 14 match falls in the evening, while the NRL and the 2027 World Cup, played in Australia, arrive in the morning. At kick-off a fixture moves to live rugby, with odds that move at every try, where winner, handicap and total stay open depending on the event; the whole live section gathers the other sports in play.
A phone screen fits the fixture card and the slip. The account is kept in Moroccan dirham (MAD) and is funded through Attijari, Cash Plus, Lbankalik, CIH or Al Barid; a newcomer creates a new account with 1xBet and finds the 2026 calendar of the Rugby section already loaded. Rugby's oval-ball cousin, American football, has its own page in the Line.
