Namibia has won through to join the All Blacks pool at next year's World Cup

Namibia has won through to join the All Blacks pool at next year's World Cup, qualifying with a 53-28 win over Kenya in Windhoek

19 August 2018

The match was a straight shootout for automatic qualification, with Namibia proving their value as overwhelming favourites with a 22-7 halftime lead.

Namibia will join New Zealand, South Africa and Italy in the pool stages, with the winner of a repechage competition to complete the group.

Namibia have now appeared at every World Cup since their first in 1999, though their 19 previous matches at the finals have all ended in defeat with more than 1,000 points conceded.
