The Botswana Rugby Union (BRU) will launch an investigation into what led to the national team’s poor showing at the Sevens Confederation of African Rugby (CAR) tournament in Zimbabwe over the weekend.

BRU president, Elijah Jones did not hide the union’s disappointment over the results, which saw the team suffer five defeats in six matches.In their first game on Saturday, Botswana went down 33-7 to Madagascar before succumbing to Zambia 19-17.

Jones told Mmegi Sport yesterday that they are still to meet the delegation that travelled to Zimbabwe to get feed back.
