Trying times: Jaguars and Cheetahs will be among teams returning to action PIC: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

After a two-year absence, the rugby league returns this weekend with action lined up in Gaborone and Francistown.

The rugby league was halted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 restrictions, but players will be back to their favourite grounds starting tomorrow. BIUST and BAC North are kick-starting proceedings in Francistown, while in Gaborone, UB Rhinos are up against Gaborone Hogs.
