What do you think Nigeria need to adjust after this 21–15 loss, especially with Nwamu carrying nine points?

Are we sure one player's scoring is the main issue, or should the whole team's approach be reviewed?

A tough result, but opening with a win and then facing Australia shows the group will demand consistency from the team.

Nigeria should look for more scoring support around Nwamu and tighten late-game execution before the next group match.
