The Montenegro national rugby team, known as the Wolves (Vukovi), represents Montenegro in rugby union. The sport of rugby has only come recently to the country since its independence in 2006.[2] The squad plays in red and gold jerseys with red shorts, and their emblem is the double headed eagle while their logo is the wolf. Montenegro are currently in ENC 3 (European Nations Cup 3rd Division) for rugby union, competing for the first time as an independent country.[3] The team was first guided and coached by Marty Lusty.[4]
