ZRU board suspended to save World Cup Dream: SRC

THE Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) has stated that the suspension of the Zimbabwe Rugby Union (ZRU) national executive board was a necessary move to protect the Zimbabwe Sables’ dream of competing in the World Cup.

According to the SRC, the action was taken to prevent the union from being suspended by World Rugby, which would have ended the team’s campaign.

Speaking at a Press conference at Rainbow Towers in Harare yesterday, SRC vice-chairperson Shingai Rhuhwaya explained that the commission’s decision was a direct response to serious warnings from international and continental rugby bodies.
