Nigeria v Ivory Coast in Gaborone (WCQ Africa; CAR Division 1C)

Venue: University of Botswana Stadium

Referee: Emmanuel Masinki(Botswana)

Preview
What a doings! With the with drawl of Cameroon this competition has been thrown into confusion. What will happen on Saturday if we end up with two winners I’m not to say!

This is Ivory Coast’s first game in this tournament and the first since 2010.

They pulled out of test rugby commitments in 2011 due to the civil strife in the country. They were relegated, as a result, to Division 1C from 1B.

These two sides have never met in a rugby test match before.

IRB Ranking Points
Ivory Coast 47.52, Nigeria 35.29

Prediction: Ivory Coast by 30 points
