THE Zimbabwe women’s rugby team has arrived in Cape Town, South Africa for the Rugby Africa Cup Pool A matches which will see them take on South Africa and Namibia.

Coached by Lissy Wasarirevu, the Zimbabwe women left the country on Monday. They clash with South Africa at City Park in Cape Town on Wednesday prior to taking on Namibia at the same venue on Sunday.

Loose head prop Melissa Ndlovu is the captain of team that has been preparing for the Rugby Africa Cup for a month. They last played international rugby in July last year when they took on Uganda in Rugby Africa Women’s Cup Pool C matches in Kampala. Zimbabwe lost 41-0 and 34-3 to Uganda.

Due to bad weather in Cape Town, Wasarirevu has not been able to take her players for any training session since the team arrived in the Mother City. They will only fine tune in an indoor facility on Tuesday afternoon.
