The captain Obi Wilson pledged to use this game as a turn around as they seek to bounce back. He stated

“We will go back home and get ourselves prepared for our next games. We believe it’s a friendly, and we didn’t lose, we go back home and get better. We still have more friendlies to play, and our team will get better.”

The Head Coach Collin Osborne was full of optimism after the match. He stated

“It’s great to see the game growing in Ghana. I’ve been working with the Ghana Rugby Football Union for seven to eight years now.

I’m very happy for today’s victory. Any nation that has a natural rival is important because it builds the atmosphere and grows the game in both countries.”

Captain Lukman Yaya on his impression of the game stated

“I am very impressed with our performance today. Some of us came to join the other local players in Ghana, and we only had one training session with the coach on Friday. Any African team that wants to play us, we are ready.”

Insuah Rafatu, the President of Ghana Rugby Football Union, expressed her gratitude to everyone involved in the 2025 Rugby Heritage Cup. Here’s what she said:

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one that made today possible, including you, the media. And of course, to our Nigerian friends, thank you for coming and honouring our invitation. There should be a return match in Nigeria, hopefully next year.”

She further stated: “Team Ghana, the Eagles played their best. It’s sports, and we are happy they won. At the end of the day, it’s all about sports, and we go back united again. To our corporate bodies, we want to say thank you very much, Kivo, Sunda, Interplast, KEDA, and all our sponsors; we’re very grateful.”
