Black Stallions coach, Fabian Juries tips team for automatic qualification.

Head coach of the Nigerian Rugby Team, Fabian Juries has expressed his gratitude to The NRFF for re appointing him to take charge of the team.

 

 Juries expressed belief that the Black Stallions can book their place at the fast approaching All Africa Games in Congo Brazaville.

Speaking after their second training session on Saturday at the main bowl of the National Stadium in Lagos, the South African rugby legend says it's good to be back in Nigeria and working with the players as they prepare for the one day tournament in Togo which is also the 2016 pre-Olympics qualifiers.

The players were made to go through fitness routine to evaluate their level of fitness.

“We did a bit of fitness, just to evaluate their level of fitness, some were ok while some are lagging, so we still need to work on that.”

 

Reacting to his return to coaching the Black Stallions, Juries said knowing few of the players has given him an insight into their mentality and that will help him in bringing out the best in the team.

The no-nonsense tactician hinted that some of the players in the camp may be dropped for replacement  as some of the players have not performed to his expectation.

 

 However, he expresses optimism that players can still up their game since they have a week to work together and lay claim to their national team jersey.
