Ghana Rugby Goes to West Africa Rugby (WAR) with Regional Rugby Tournaments


Ghana Rugby Goes to West Africa Rugby (WAR) with Regional Rugby Tournaments

July 3, 2019 at 3:08 PM

The first of a series of rugby encounters between West African nations are planned in the form of the Ghana Rugby Invitationals towards the end of July

Ghana Rugby (GhanaRugby.org) announced a groundbreaking initiative on the development of the Game of Rugby Union in the sub-region of West Africa with the first series of international men’s fifteens and women’s sevens matches.

According to the President of Ghana Rugby, Mr Herbert Mensah, these series of matches is the first step towards the realisation of a vision he has been sharing with Rugby Africa and other rugby nations in the region.

“WARS (West African Rugby Series) was born out of the need of Ghana Rugby to get more international match exposure as far back as 2015. 

With the cancellation of flagship Rugby Africa tournaments this year this initiative was taken off the shelf and the planned regional matches for 2019 will serve as a precursor to WARS as envisaged when the idea first came up,” Mensah said.
