The team topped a group consisting of the Ivory Coast, Morocco, and Tunisia, qualifying for the 1991 Rugby World Cup. However, the Sables lost all their 3 matches to Ireland, Japan, and Scotland by fairly large margins. After this World Cup many players from Zimbabwe's \"Golden Generation\" retired. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eNamibia and later Kenya entered the scene, challenging the original four charter members of Rugby Africa, and the slow deterioration of the Zimbabwean economy in the 1990s and into the 2000s caused many rugby players (both black and white) to leave the country for opportunities elsewhere. An example of this is Kennedy Tsimba, who initially played as a Zimbabwe international, but later switched to South Africa due to the political and economic situation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eZimbabwe finished last in the round robin for the 1995 Rugby World Cup, and finished third in the 1999 qualifying round robin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbarian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55546914374008,"sku":"11842","price":99.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/7309\/files\/IMG_20260505_132549.jpg?v=1778141513","url":"https:\/\/www.classic15.co.uk\/products\/1995-zimbabwe-home-rugby-shirt-3xl","provider":"Classic15 Vintage Rugby Shirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
