The Vultures are in Pool B alongside Ivory Coast and Mauritius and they will face Pool B teams: Madagascar, Senegal and the hosts Uganda.  After facing Madagascar this Sunday, Botswana will then tackle the Rugby Cranes Uganda on Wednesday. Botswana will finish off with Senegal in the last game.  Ivor Greeves is in charge of the team and admits it would be tough.

“We don’t have professional players; they work during the day and train at night so it is a bit frustrating for us,” Greeves said.  With qualification to Africa Tier 1A at stake, Greeves said they would take every game as it comes, but the main aim is to win all the games. In terms of preparation, Greeves has confessed their need to reinvent the wheel.
