Young Sables out to consolidate lead

THE Zimbabwe U20 rugby team technical department led by head coach Shaun De Souza has made several changes to the squad for the game against Namibia as they seek to maintain their winning streak and consolidate their position on top of the table in the Barthes Trophy.

Four teams are vying for the coveted Africa Rugby Barthes Trophy, the premier junior continental rugby showpiece which offers a ticket to the U20 Rugby World Cup set for Scotland in July.

The Young Sables opened their account with a 46-21 drubbing of Tunisia on Sunday and eye similar fortunes against former champions Namibia this afternoon.
