Despite challenging rainy conditions, Zimbabwe showcased their discipline and physicality, dominating the first half with a 17-10 lead. South Korea mounted a strong second-half comeback, but the Sables’ defense remained resolute, repelling wave after wave of attack.

With their growing confidence and unity, Zimbabwe is determined to secure a spot in the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Benade emphasized, “The Rugby Africa Cup is a major milestone for us, and this tour has given us valuable experience in tough conditions.” As the Sables look to the future, their unbeaten year is a source of pride and hope, signaling a bright future for Zimbabwean rugby.
