Zimbabwe v Côte d’Ivoire
Speaking about the tournament, President at Rugby Africa, Khaled Babbou, said despite the challenges it was great to see all unions and administrators pull together to run a smooth game and keep the integrity of the qualifying process.
“For the first time, Rugby Africa adopted a truly inclusive approach whereby all eligible Unions were offered a chance to compete in the World Cup qualification process. Due to various reasons a number of Unions were unable to participate but still in the end 13 countries fielded teams in the various tournaments which is a remarkable achievement. Botswana, Rwanda, Mauritius, Eswatini declined to enter the competition due to on-going Covid restrictions hampering their teams’ preparation, Morocco and Nigeria Rugby Unions are currently suspended while Tunisia was unfortunately faced with last minute challenges due to an escalating surge of Covid-19 in their country.”
