Technical Director of the Nigeria Rugby team, the Black Stallions, Ntiense Okon Williams has revealed to Sports247.ng that Rugby Africa will determine Nigeria’s participation at the 2019 All Africa Games, the Bronze Cup and Olympic Games qualifiers.
The continent meeting will hold on October 10 in Morocco.
“The administrative body in African Rugby known as Rugby Africa will determine those who will join those pencilled down for upcoming events in their calendar,” Ntiense Okon Williams started in chat with Sports247.ng.
“The date of the meeting has been confirmed for 10th October in Morocco. The gathering will be crucial for our hopes in playing at the 2019 All Africa Games, the Bronze Cup and Olympic Games qualifiers.”
Nigeria came second in the recent Sevens tournament in Cote d’Ivoire.
“We performed so well at the Sevens tournament in Cote d’Ivoire and placed second. It was a good experience for the entire team.”
He added that he is very optimistic the meeting will favour the country because Nigeria was adjudged the best rugby team at the tournament and the number of teams to participate in the next All Africa Games has increased from 12 to 16 which gives an opportunity for the Black Stallions to be part of the four teams.
