Announcing the development, ZRU Spokesperson Tom Chaloba said, “As a Union we are doing our part in ensuring that we limit the number of people congregating at any one place hence coming up with this strategy. We have allowed clubs to organize games & tournaments for selected teams (with this strategy in mind) so as to adhere to the laid down precautions as instructed by the National Sports Council and the Ministry of Health”
“We continue advising our affiliate clubs to make sure all patrons, fans and everyone else who comes to their club houses is in conformity to the new normal. Our National Team selectors/scouts are on the look out for potential talent as we prepare for games slated for the 2021 International Rugby calendar” Chaloba concluded.
