Nigeria has been drawn in group B alongside Zimbabwe, Uganda and Zambia for the 2016 Olympics games qualifiers.
According to information made available to the Nigeria Rugby Football Federation by Rugby Africa, the qualifiers will be staged in Johannesburg, South Africa on the 14th – 15th November, 2015.
Reacting after the draws, coach of the Nigerian Rugby team also knows as Black Stallions, Fabian Juries said “The draw here offers some really exciting match-ups right from the group stage and there are lots of potential for upsets as well, which means no team can take anything for granted.”
Despite Zimbabwe being already tipped by bookmakers as group B favorites, the South African Rugby legend believed that the Zambian team is also not a pushover as he warned opposing teams that any attempt to underrate Nigeria at the Africa Cup Sevens where the winner qualifies for the Rio Olympic Games in 2016 may prove costly.
Meanwhile in group A, Kenya who is a strong force in africa rugby will tackle Madagascar, Senegal and Mauritius.
In group C, northern African brothers, Tunisia and Morrocco have been pitted together with Namibia and Botswana.
