Stallions Finish 7th at Africa Senior Men’s Rugby Sevens

Posted : 22 June 2025

After a mixed run of two wins and four losses, Nigeria’s senior men’s rugby team, the Stallions, finished 7th at the Africa Men’s Rugby Sevens tournament in Mauritius.

The Stallions wrapped up their campaign with a 19-12 victory over Ghana in their final classification match on Sunday in Port Louis, securing a respectable 7th-place finish.

Earlier in the day, Nigeria narrowly missed the chance to place higher after a closely contested 22-26 loss to Zambia in the classification rounds.

Nigeria began their campaign on Saturday with a 5-17 loss to tournament giants South Africa, but bounced back with an impressive 29-12 win over Burkina Faso. Despite a subsequent 7-14 defeat to Zambia, the Stallions advanced to the quarter-finals.

However, the quarter-final clash against Kenya’s Moans proved too tough, ending in a 43-12 defeat, which pushed the Stallions into the classification bracket.

Injuries to key players also hampered Nigeria's chances throughout the tournament.

Despite the setbacks, this 7th-place finish marks a notable improvement from last year’s campaign, where Nigeria placed 11th, just one spot from the bottom.

Meanwhile, South Africa's Blitzboks capped off their brilliant performance with a 28-12 victory over Madagascar in the final to claim the championship title. In the bronze medal match, Zimbabwe stunned Kenya 21-19 to secure third place in the competition.
