“We think that they will come with a good plan on Saturday though it’s a test match. In our league match against them, they were very determined and remain a tough nut to crack. We will have to deal with their kicking game and try to impose our game onto them. Tens rugby is a different ball game and I think we should be able to control the game. Sunday said.

Cowrie RFC will be participating in the biggest rugby tens tournament in the world ‘The Cape town tens’, the team is a pioneer member of the event and will be appearing for the 6th time in the tournament.

Racing RFC from Lagos will also be featuring in this year’s Cape Town tens as first timers.
