SWAG
This is the first time SWAG is awarding Rugby players; so Rafatu and Angel Michael the skipper of the national team who are poised to win the national team of the year award will take home something to remember and recognition at the 44th AWARDS ceremony of the Sports Journalists in Ghana.

I believe this will influence some ladies who have now stepped in to push Rugby forward. Ladies like Kadija, Anita and Sandra who are also involved in the get Into Rugby Program initiated by World Rugby and adopted by Ghana Rugby through our able leader Mr Herbert Mensah to develop the game to Schools and community across the country
