Three Rugby Nations Reach Out To the Ghanaian Youth

The three Rugby nations (Benin, Ghana and Togo) assembled in Ghana for the Rugby Africa Regional Challenge (RARC) Group West 1 tournament has embarked on a historic outreach programme dubbed by the Ghana Eagles as the “RARC Legacy Project”.

The project was initiated by the Ghana National Rugby Squad, the Ghana Eagles , as their selfless contribution towards spreading the values of Rugby to Ghanaian youth.

The captain of the Ghana Eagles, Michael Ako (Ako) Wilson, said that few people in Ghana know about Rugby, let alone about the character building values of Rugby.

The first leg of the RARC Legacy Project was completed on Monday 1 May 2017 when the Benin Squirrels (Les Écureuils) conducted a “Get Into Rugby” session that explained and demonstrated the basics of Rugby to a group of school children in Madina.
