The Cheetahs needed to finish in the top three of the competition to book their ticket to the premier stand-alone international rugby sevens competition outside the Olympic Games. Zimbabwe’s new-look squad showed remarkable fighting spirit to bounce back and reach the final of the continental qualifier after getting their campaign off to a horror start with a shocking loss to rank outsiders Burkina Faso on Saturday. In the end, they came up Cape Town 7s World Cup live streaming  short in the final after losing 28-0 in the final to hosts Uganda, who were cheered on by a boisterous home crowd at the Kyadondo Rugby Club in Kampala. Zimbabwe went into the final having already booked their World Cup berth after they defeated neighbours Zambia 26-17 in the first semi-final.

Their focus will, however, be on the Rugby World Cup Sevens, where they will be making their sixth appearance after securing qualification in 1997, 2001, 2009, 2013 and 2018.

 Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe welcomes the scrutiny Ireland will come under at the HSBC Canada Women’s Sevens this weekend as they begin a busy few months.

That result, aided by nine tries from Murphy Cape Town Sevens 2022 live  Crowe, lifted the team to fifth in the women’s Series standings and raised hopes that a maiden tournament victory is within reach. For Murphy Crowe and her teammates their goal remains qualification for Rugby World Cup Sevens 2022, but they are also determined to back up their success in Spain when they take the field in Langford. “As I've heard before, pressure is a privilege,” she told World Rugby. “To be under pressure is actually such a good thing because we want to be world class, so we want to achieve the best and we want to be at the top. “That's what our team is just driven to do.”
