Reacting after the game, NRFF technical director; Fasimoye Olatunji
expressed concerns over some questionable calls
made by the referee in favor of the host who were desperate to host to win and
gain promotion into the 1B division.
He submitted that the team will have
to come all out against Zimbabwe on Wednesday if they are to step up to Cup 1B.
The federation is still awaiting Rugby Africa’s decision’s
after a formal complaint was made over Zambia Rugby Union’s decision to appoint
a referee from Kenya and touch judges and match commissioner from Zambia for
the match against the Black Stallions.
