Great favorite of the Rugby Africa Cup, Namibia won the tournament last Sunday, July 10, by beating Kenya (36-0) in the final. The Welwitschias pocket at the same time their ticket for the 2023 World Cup in France.
Unsurprisingly, Namibia won the Rugby Africa tournament, which was exceptionally held in Aix-en-Provence and Marseille in France. The Welwitschias beat Kenya (36-0) in the final. They validate their ticket for the World Cup 2023 in France, for their seventh participation in a row.
As against Burkina Faso in the quarter-finals and Zimbabwe in the semi-finals, Namibia did not need to force its talent to overcome Kenya. Much more complete than their opponents, the Namibians dictated the tempo during the first half, dominating the Kenyans 21-0.
In the second half, the Welwitschias came back with the same spirit. Never worried, they tightened the grip on their opponents and scored 15 more points. It is thus very logically that they win against Kenyans certainly valiant but impotent in front of an opponent of this caliber.
Other representative of the continent in the next World Cup (September 8 - October 21) after South Africa, Namibia will be in the same group as New Zealand, triple world champion, Italy, Uruguay and therefore France, host country.
Congratulations NAMIBIA 💥
