Rhinos' MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!

THE Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University (ZEGU) Rugby team, Rhinos, faces a herculean task of dismantling defenses of their opponents at the upcoming Zimbabwe Tertiary Institutions Sports Union (ZTISU) Games, today, in Bulawayo, but odds could never be better at this point in time as the team's flair has not only captured the imagination of their strong fan base, but that of their opponents too.

Stakes have never been this high for the Rhinos, whose success at the ZUSA Games came at the expense of other high-flying university rugby teams, saw them qualify for this tourney together with the University of Zimbabwe.

Speaking soon after the touch-down in the 'City of Kings and Queens', Rhino's captain Calvin Ruzvidzo expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming challenge.

There is a lot of positivity within the team, and I am confident that we will bring the crown home. The team is bolstered by strong experienced and talented players, which makes us a better team. We definitely hope for the best. We are very much ready for the games.

Representing ZEGU with honour

Sharing the sentiments with his captain who plays the important position of "Hooker" in the team, ZEGU Alumni and Rhinos Coach Takudzwanashe Chinyemba was somewhat preserved, playing his cards close to his chest.

The team spent a couple of days in camp, and we are ready to take up the challenge. ZUSA was not the result we wanted but we can do better in the upcoming ZTISU games. A bigger platform definitely means a bigger task and challenge. So, we are ready.
