Rugby Africa Cup 1C: Black Stallions names 15s Squad, set to embark on high altitude training camp in Lusaka ahead of the tournament in Lusaka, Zambia
Nigeria will hope to gain an extra edge to their Africa Cup 1C preparations next weekend by embarking on a high-altitude training camp in Lusaka, Zambia.
The two-week trip is part of a detailed conditioning programm designed by the technical team of the NRFF to ensure that the Fabian Juries led squad enter the tournament in good shape, The tournament will be hosted in Lusaka, Zambia,
The close camp will feature players selected from home and abroad and the team will compete alongside Zambia and Zimbabwe for promotion into to a higher Division; CUP 1B if they emerge tournament winners. This will take us closer to the likes of Kenya, Namibia and Zimbabwe who are in CUP 1A.
“We are excited to name this squad which allows us to look at a wide group of players who have been pushing hard for selection through their performance in the various leagues” says Olatunji Fasimoye; NRFF Technical director.
There are a lot of experienced players within the squad with the likes of Bayo Odumosu-Jones, Scrum half; Sani Halilu and Emmanuel Godwin earning a call up.
