THE Zimbabwe Under-20 rugby team turned on the style and marched into the 2023 World Rugby Under-20 Junior Trophy finals with a match to spare following a crushing 60-6 victory over Tunisia yesterday.
The eye-catching result in their Rugby Under-20 Africa Cup semi-final match at the Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi yesterday against the much-fancied north Africans means that they will meet hosts Kenya in the final. Kenya triumphed 24-13 against Namibia in the other semi-final, meaning the Junior Sables will join their east African opponents as Africa’s representatives at the 2023 World Rugby Under-20 Junior Trophy slated for July 15 to 30, this year in Nairobi.
The tournament is the second level of the World Rugby tournament structure for Under-20 national sides in which champions qualify for the top-tier competition, World Rugby U-20 Championship to be held next year.-newsday
