Zimbabwe sevens rugby side has been given a relatively tough draw in the upcoming Hong Kong Sevens tournament. The Cheetahs were pooled alongside South Africas Springboks, Kenya and Korea. The Zimbabweans will begin their tough assignment on March 26 with a clash against the reigning IRB World Series Champions (South Africa) in the opening match of Group F.
They will then face a tough assignment with continental giants, Kenya and Korea the following day. In their last meeting with the Springboks in George, in December, the Cheetahs were beaten 5-29 before succumbing to Kenya in a dreadful 0-50 defeat. The draw however does not worry the Cheetahs head coach, Liam Middleton.
