Episode Details

The Zimbabwe Sables are back at the rugby World Cup! In this podcast I was delighted to be joined by both Zimbabwe's captain Hilton Mudariki and their head coach Pieter Bernade to talk about all things Sables

The guys tell me how they went 2 years without playing a match to winning back to back Rugby Africa titles and qualifying for Australia 2027, the truth about Zimbabwean club rugby, what it means to represent their country on the world stage and how they want to face when they get to the World Cup. It was a wonderful conversation and I hope you enjoy it!
