The national seven’s rugby team kicked off their preparations for the Confederation of African Rugby (CAR) tournament with a training camp in Gaborone. The tournament takes place in Zimbabwe at the end of the month.

The team has already participated in two tournaments in South Africa in preparations for the CAR tournament.
