ZIMBABWE Under 20 rugby national team coach, Shaun DeSouza, has named a squad for the World Rugby Canada International Series set from October 9-24.
Hosts Canada will be joined by Zimbabwe, Chile and Uruguay.
This is an opportunity for the teams, which will be playing in the World Rugby U-20 Junior World Trophy, to get some game time.
The Under-20 team were crowned champions after beating Namibia in the final at the Rugby Africa Under-20 Barthes Trophy in Nairobi, Kenya, this year.
The win against Namibia was the Young Sables’ third in the competition after edging Tunisia in the quarter-finals and knocking out Madagascar in the semis. By winning the Rugby Africa U-20 Barthes Trophy, the Junior Sables earned the ticket to represent Africa at next year’s World Rugby Under-20 Trophy.
