Zimbabwean international prop forward Victor Mupunga, aged 26, has secured a two-year contract with French rugby club Bourg-en-Bresse. The club competes in the Nationale division, marking a significant step in Mupunga’s professional career. This move sees the powerful front-rower join a growing contingent of Zimbabwean players making their mark in French rugby leagues, highlighting the talent emerging from the Southern African nation.
Mupunga’s signing further strengthens the Zimbabwean presence in France. He will be linking up with fellow Sables players such as Shane Makombe, Riaan O’Neill, Cleopas Kundiona, Tapiwa Tsomondo, and Shingi Katsevere, who are already playing in various divisions across the country. This increasing representation underscores the appeal of French rugby to Zimbabwean players seeking professional opportunities and a competitive environment to develop their skills.
The move to Bourg-en-Bresse presents an exciting challenge and opportunity for Mupunga to test himself in a new rugby culture and contribute to his club’s ambitions in the Nationale division. His addition will undoubtedly be welcomed by the French side, and his progress will be closely followed by Zimbabwean rugby fans eager to see their countrymen succeed on the international stage.
