Cheetahs out of World Cup after Canada loss

ZIMBABWE’S national rugby sevens side the Cheetahs, will face Hong  Kong in the bowl competition quarterfinals this morning after they began their campaign at the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens with a 31-7 loss against Canada here yesterday.

The Cheetahs needed to win their tough Pre-Round of 16 match against Canada yesterday to entertain any hopes of remaining in contention.

Despite getting off to a promising start, the Cheetahs failed to cause an upset against Canada and will now face Hong Kong in the less fashionable bowl competition after the Asian also lost their first match after a 19-7 loss against Uruguay.
