Young Sables squad named

THE Zimbabwe Rugby Union (ZRU) has named an enlarged provisional squad for the Africa Rugby Under-19 Championships to be held in the country during the weeks of August 24 and 29.

Zimbabwe will host the four-team regional tournament featuring Namibia, Uganda and Kenya, with the winner earning the right to represent the continent at the 2016 Junior World Rugby Trophy.

ZRU selectors have cast their net wider to ensure the country has a strong squad for the tournament by including a host of former schoolboys now plying their trade at universities in South Africa and the United Kingdom.
