2024 Rugby Africa Cup Match Day One: Algeria's Forwards

The Algerians won the battle upfront, executing their set-pieces well against a battling Ivorian side that looked threatened occasionally with ball in hand, especially the outside backs.

Algeria however had its own issues with discipline as two players spent some time out in the sinbin.
