Jiji scored 26 points from the Young Sables total of 92 in the tournament. They played three competitive matches. He had one try six conversions three penalties to his credit.
The Zimbabweans started their campaign in the festival on a losing but competitive note when they lost 17-41 to South Africa Academy.
They picked up their confidence to put up a 41-0 massacre of Border Districts as they hoped to finish off with a win against Namibia.
But Godwin Murambiwa and his charges ended their campaign with a stalemate against Namibia, which saw the 34-34 score-line.
A win against Namibia was all captain Takudzwa Mandiwanza wanted having tasted victory against them last year.
“We also played Namibia last year in one of the games, but we managed to win having turned around our game in the second half. I know that they are no easy pushovers, said the schoolboy before their final match.
The Namibians certainly did not go down easily. Murambiwa and his charges put on a brave show to end up in position 12 in the 24 team showdown, with eight points.
