ZIMBABWE Cheetahs will be going into camp at the Innovate High Perfomance Centre in Harare on Monday in preparation for the Confederation of African Rugby (CAR) Sevens tournament at the end of the month.
The national side’s assistant coach Daniel Hondo said the 12-team tournament will be held at Prince Edward School on November 29 – 30
“Besides the hosts, other teams that will feature in the tournament are South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Tunisia, Nigeria, Madagascar, Namibia, Botswana, Senegal, Zambia and Cote d’Ivoire.
Zimbabwe are in a tough group as they were drawn up to play against powerhouses Kenya, Tunisia, Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Namibia and Uganda at the tournament.”
If Zimbabwe wins the tournament or finishes the highest ranked non-core team on the IRB World Sevens Series, it will qualify as a core team for the Hong Kong World Sevens next year.
Hondo said their target is to win the series and is confident that the team will be at its best.
