Nigeria's Stallions have discovered their group-stage opponents following Rugby Africa's confirmation of new dates for the postponed Mauritius 7s tournament, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The continental rugby governing body announced that the Rugby Africa 7s competition will now take place on October 3 and 4 in Mauritius after its original schedule in June was postponed.

The postponement came following medical recommendations due to the outbreak of the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.

Nigeria has been drawn in Pool A, where the Stallions will face African heavyweights South Africa, hosts Mauritius, and Zambia in what promises to be a competitive group.

The Stallions will be aiming to make a strong impression at the rescheduled tournament as they battle for progression against three formidable opponents.
