Nigeria open camp for Rugby World Cup qualifier

The Nigeria Rugby Football Federation (NRFF) has announced a 23-man list for a two- week intensive camping exercise ahead of the pre-qualifiers for the 2019 Rugby World cup.
The two weeks exercise under the supervision of a South African born coach, Fabian Juries kicked yesterday at the main bowl of the National stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
According to the list made available by the technical department of the federation, only two foreign-based players – Christian Ogar and Okafor ThankGod both plying their trades in South Africa- were invited to join their home based colleagues for the camping exercise.
The Technical Director of the federation, Fasimoye Olatunji said: “Because of the standard of our league, we have been able to build our players to a standard where we believe that if we nurture them well, they can compete favorably anywhere in the world.
