The Nigeria Rugby League women’s national team, the Green Falcons, are targeting a clean sweep when they face Ghana’s Leopardess in the second leg of their two-match friendly series on Saturday at the Alaro City International Rugby Pitch in Lekki.
The Nigerians stormed to an emphatic 40–0 victory in the first game last weekend in a dominant display that underlined their growing stature in African rugby league.
Lauretta Bayere and Faustina Akeje scored two tries each, while Adaeze Innocent registered one try and three conversions to complete an authoritative performance for the hosts.
The second leg offers the Falcons another opportunity to fine-tune their tactics ahead of a more significant test, their participation in the inaugural Rugby League World Series.
We have broken down the training into three sections to ensure we are effective in all aspects. The first phase was to iron out any frictions, and the one we are working on now will be tested this weekend in the second game.”
The Green Falcons, who are the current Middle East and Africa Rugby League champions, will use Saturday’s clash to assess their progress and team cohesion before travelling for the global qualifiers.
