Herbert Mensah, President of Rugby Africa, has called for more support from the international governing body to help grow the sport in the continent.

Africa will be represented by reigning world champions South Africa and Namibia at the Rugby World Cup in France, but Mensah would like to see three African teams at the next World Cup in 2027.

Mensah tells Sportsworld’s Lee James how rugby has to compete with the popularity of football and the battle for resources as he calls for greater equity across global rugby.
