SCRUMHALF Hilton Mudariki will lead the Zimbabwe Sables when they clash with Uganda in their second Victoria Cup rugby fixture in Kampala on Saturday.
Mudariki, who plays club rugby for English Championship side Jersey Reds, is captaining the Sables in the absence of skipper Brendon Mandivenga who picked up an injury in Zimbabwe’s 39-10 victory over Zambia at Harare Sports Club two weeks ago. Experienced forward, Jan Ferreira has been named as Mudariki’s deputy for the match against the Cranes.
Zimbabwe, who leave for Uganda on Friday, will be looking for a second win in the Victoria Cup after their convincing over Zambia in their opening fixture.
