Back to France

Axel Müller, 25, is a Mendoza rugby player who has developed his career in Francefor four years. The back visited the province, taking advantage of the break from the French rugby league (Top 14), where he plays at Brive. He even had time to sit in the stands and watch a game of his former club, known as Los Cures.

Already in France to resume the competition in the Top 14, the former Marista Rugby Club described his great present at the highest level and the possibility of returning to the Argentine national team. We talked about “returning” because he already took the albiceleste, although in seven-mode, at the Rio 2016 Games. And it was from that outstanding performance that Axel made the leap to European rugby. And, as we said, their goal of playing again for the national team is intact since, for some years, Argentine players playing in Europe have again been considered for the biggest team of our country.

In this regard, Müller hopes that this year will be yours for the good present in your club. However, it remains focused on making a good career in France, enjoying and growing at a distance.

Your personal history

He was born in Las Flores, province of Buenos Aires. His family moved to Mendoza when he was 3 years old, which is why he considers himself a Mendoza. In 2002 they emigrated to the United States, where their father had to settle for work. He was there for 10 years. He completed primary school, high school, practiced decathlon, Greco-Roman wrestling and American football. On his return to Mendoza, a friend took him to the bottom of the Marista Rugby Club.

Soon after he was summoned to join the Pumitas, played the 2013 Japan Youth World Championship and was immediately captured by the national team of seven, with whom he played the last seasons of the World Tour.
