Cash-strapped touch rugby team needs funds for World Cup

Cape Town - Just three weeks ahead of the World Cup in Australia, members of the national men’s touch rugby team are still scrambling to raise enough money to fund their trip. Most of the players are from the Bo-Kaap, GroundUp has reported on Tuesday.

In a desperate attempt to help cover the team's outstanding funds for the trip, coach Labeeb Levy took out a R50 000 personal loan last week.

The group still needs to raise over R100 000 to cover additional costs.
