The Leabridge Rugby Challenge

 The Leabridge Rugby Challenge, in its inaugural year is seeking to raise the profile of Zimbabwe schoolboy rugby across the region. We are delighted to be playing host to 3 of South Africa’s top schools with bookings for more next year, to include sides from Zambia and Malawi. We want to give the opportunity for the Zimbabwe school teams to both play against and witness the best that South Africa has to offer, and show further to the South African sides that rugby is a real talent in our country, as well as to showcase the wonderful place to visit that Zimbabwe is. We have a rich heritage of Zimbabwean born players making the Springbok side, from Ian Robinson and Ray Mordt in the 1970s, to more recently Gary Teichmann, Adrian Garvey, Bob Skinstad , Brian Mujati, and of course, Tendai “Beast” Mtawararira. Some of our finest government schools, including Churchill and Prince Edward will now have the chance to pit their skills against the South Africans….who knows the next ‘Beast’ could be tearing the up the fields in two weeks time. We are also delighted to be showcasing the talent of the Mbare rugby Academy, whose U14 side have played their St John’s equivalent twice and beaten them twice. There are some real stars coming through, let’s all pull together and put Zimbabwe schoolboy rugby back where it should be. Massive thanks to Raymond Kazembe and his team at Leabridge Technologies for making the event possible.
