Coach of the national rugby team, Gareth Gilbert is confident of beating Tanzania in the final of the Confederation of African Rugby (CAR) Castel Cup southern zone final on August 17 in Gaborone.

The Vultures made history when they qualified for the final for the first time last month in a week-long tournament played in Gaborone. Gilbert believes that they can win the final as they have had good preparations and his charges are ready for battle. He revealed that they have been studying their opponents. "We have been watching their videos in action. We also played them three years ago when we won 38-12," he said. He does not expect Tanzania to be pushovers though.

 
Gilbert is concerned about the way his charges execute the game plan. He said that they are working on the problem to avoid the same mistakes they made in their Pool A games played in Gaborone last month. "Last month, we did not play well in the first game which we eventually lost and only showed our capabilities in the second and the last game. So we must try and avoid the mistakes," he said.
