CAR Final off
Monday November 01 2004
Morocco can't raise team
The Confederation of African Rugby's Top 10 Final was to have been played between Namibia and Morocco in Windhoek on Saturday. The match has been postponed because Morocco cannot raise and adequate team. The match remains subject to the refusal of French clubs to release their players for international commitments other than on 13, 20 and 27 November, the so-called international window. Most of Morocco's top players play their rugby in France and so would not be available for this final. Morocco were the winners of the North Zone of the competition, while Namibia won the South Zone. Paul Sigombe, CAR's tournament director, today informed SA Rugby that this Saturday's match was off and would be played "early next year". "Early next year" could mean a match played in the heat of the Namibian summer. He informed SA Rugby because the match officials (Eugene Daniels, the referee, and the touch judges Louis Mzomba and Jerome America) were to be from South Africa. The request for these officials was made as late as 26 October. On 1 November the match was postponed. Morocco reached the final by winning against Côte dIvoire, Tunisia and Cameroon. Namibia did so by beating off Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya and Uganda.
