THE Zimbabwe rugby team, the Sables, have turned their attention to a crucial Nations Cup clash against the United States this weekend as they seek to revive their 2026 campaign.
Zimbabwe opened the tournament with a defeat to Tonga on Saturday but have since regrouped and shifted their focus to Saturday’s encounter in Charlotte.
The Sables arrived in the United States determined to build on the lessons from their opening fixture as they prepare to face the tournament hosts in a match that could reignite their campaign.
Following the USA clash, Zimbabwe will conclude their Nations Cup programme against Canada next week.
The tournament forms a key part of the Sables’ preparations for next year’s global showpiece, providing valuable international competition as they continue building towards rugby’s biggest stage.
