Zimbabwean international prop commits immediate future to Warriors
Zimbabwe international tighthead prop Farai Mudariki is the latest Warriors player to commit his future to the club by signing a new one-year contract.
Mudariki, 23, arrived at Sixways earlier this season having spent two years as an Academy Player at Castres Olympique and then spent a season at Federale 1 club Tarbes where former Warriors lock James Percival played alongside him.
Mudariki, the younger brother of Jersey scrum-half and Zimbabwe Sevens captain Hilton Mudariki , has made two appearances for Warriors this season and is delighted to have secured his immediate future.
“We are building a great team here and I want to be part of that as soon as possible . I plan to keep developing and hope to get some more minutes on the pitch in that process,” Mudariki said.
“I am really thankful for the guidance that the coaching staff have given me thus far and for the faith they have shown in me.

“I am enjoying my time here. A few of the lads here played rugby with my older brother at some stage in their careers so I am quite familiar with them and they have helped me to settle into the club.
“It’s a great time to be part of the project at this club. I feel blessed, it’s really an exciting time to be involved.”
Mudariki is the 13th current Warriors player to sign a new contract as Director of Rugby Alan Solomons continues with his retention and recruitment programme.
Solomons said: “Farai is a young player with loads of potential and it’s terrific that he is extending his stay with us. I have no doubt that he will make his mark next season.”

Whats interesting now is the evolution of rugby. More and more the laws are favouring the team in possession and the ball carrier. Teams can keep the ball for longer periods more than ever before with little risk and wear down defences as long as they don’t knock it on. Set pieces are seen as hindrances and as time wasting annoyances by law makers and they are being depowered as lawmakers strive for higher ball in play time. Perhaps its only natural then that teams will take a more assertive and aggressive approach in defence. An offensive defence as you said Nick. This may force errors and turnovers and help teams to break up attacking plays while providing counterattacking prospects. Perhaps we will see more and more teams adopt the blitz in the next 4 year cycle and beyond much like Gegenpress has met Tiki Taka in football. Instead of Pep and Klopp we will have Farrell and Nienaber.
