Zimbabwe’s senior national rugby team will take on the higher-ranked Dutch national rugby side, affectionately known as The Oranges at the Rugby Stadium Amsterdam on June 25.
The two teams were initially scheduled to clash in November 2020, but were forced to shelve the game due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After an almost two-year wait, the match is finally set to go ahead and it will come at an ideal time too for the Sables, who are seeking to qualify for their first Rugby World Cup since 1991.
