The Ondo state born administrator explained that countries like Namibia and Zimbabwe, who defeated Nigeria were not technically or tactically superior, but were physically conditioned for the game.
Famisoye disclosed that with the human resources that abound in Nigeria, and the current set of players in the national team, Nigeria will be a force to reckon with in world rugby in the next 5 years if given the right support.
