French rugby federation blames 'poorly managed' supervision for youth player drowning in Cape Town

Narjissi was part of a team at a youth rugby tournament in the Mother City and was reported missing on 7 August after going swimming in the sea.

South African authorities said Narjissi had been swimming at Diaz Beach when strong rip currents swept him into the surf zone.

The French Rugby Federation (FFR) said on Thursday it questioned the role of administrative supervisors from the Ministry of Sport following the death of France under-18 player Medhi Narjissi last month.

Narjissi was reported missing on 7 August after going swimming in the sea in Cape Town, South Africa, where France were preparing for a youth tournament.

Employees and volunteers from the French Ministry of Sport often join national sports teams as supervisors.
