Le XV de la Namibie pour finir face à l'Uruguay
Le sélectionneur Allister Coetzee a procédé à sept changements dans son XV de départ par rapport au dernier match contre la France, dont quatre dans le paquet d’avants et trois dans les lignes arrières.

Ainsi, le pilier Johan Coetzee et l’ailier Gerswin Mouton sont les seuls joueurs à avoir débuté les quatre matchs de ce tournoi pour la Namibie.
Quatre Français dans l’effectif
Tjiuee Uanivi, qui porte les couleurs de l’US Montauban en Pro D2, portera le brassard de capitaine pour la cinquième fois de sa carrière internationale. Il avait eu cet honneur contre l’Ouganda et le Kenya en 2016, puis contre l’Italie et l’Afrique du Sud lors de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2019.
Trois autres joueurs évoluent en France, à différents niveaux du championnat : Torsten Van Jaarsveld (Aviron Bayonnais, Top 14), Pieter-Jan van Lill (Capbreton Hossegor Rugby, Régionale 1), et Tiaan Swanepoel (Valence-Agen, Nationale 2).
S’il entre en jeu face à l’Uruguay, PJ van Lill disputera son 12e match de Coupe du Monde de Rugby, ce qui en fera le deuxième joueur de Namibie le plus expérimenté dans la compétition derrière Eugene Jantjies (14 matchs de Coupe du Monde de Rugby).

Des trois joueurs namibiens qui avaient aplati dans l’en-but ce jour-là, seul Danco Burger sera sur la feuille de match.
Pourquoi pas un deuxième essai sur cette édition
Alcino Izaacs sera titulaire pour la première fois en Coupe du Monde de Rugby, après avoir disputé 24 minutes en sortie de banc la semaine dernière. Pour ses débuts internationaux, il avait été titularisé pour affronter le Burkina Faso en 2022, mais c’est en entrant en jeu en cours de match qu’il a obtenu ses trois sélections suivantes, face au Zimbabwe, au Kenya et à la France.
Gerswin Mouton est l’auteur de l’unique essai inscrit par la Namibie lors de ce tournoi. Il fait partie des cinq joueurs qui ont réussi un franchissement de ligne (par deux fois contre l’Italie lors de la première journée).
Louis van der Westhuizen est le joueur qui a participé au plus grand nombre de rucks défensifs pour la Namibie (11) lors de la RWC 2023, avec deux pénalités obtenues et deux ballons grattés à la clé.

Just watched brumbies v safas game sadly not a show in he’ll thryr anywhere near quarters or semi contention. Admittedly some issues around new comers bot what stands out for me is coaching management, poor game planning and accuracy.

2 Go to commentsTruely great player. In social media and opinion pieces he was held up and flogged for the results. People wanted someone to crucify, and he was the captain. He was still an immense presence respected by his peers. His battles with Siya Kolisi belong up with with Collins vs Burger in my opinion. Unlucky to be carded in the final, but I don’t agree that his red card was the defining moment. Not when you look at the dominant performances of the Springboks (PSDT in particular.) I think Cane should be remembered for the spirit and physicality that is special to test rugby.

15 Go to comments_Crusaders versus Leinster _at the moment might be a rout! But I would like to see the Blues play Toulouse, the Hurricanes front up against Stade Francais, and the Chiefs go against Toulon.

2 Go to commentsIf stormers aren’t available. Based on form and likely availability at the time of the wales Test, you’d think Masuku would be a no-brainer to start. But starting Jordan also makes sense having Masuku come off the bench to close out the game.

1 Go to commentsLet’s examine what might be irking the brainless E: Up until 20 years before this coming Julys tests: 16 games: 14 wins for SA; 1 win for Ire; 1 draw From 20 years until July’ tests Ireland V SA: 13 matches Ireland won 8; SA won 4; 1 draw Points scored Ireland 261; SA 189 Ave Winning Margin: Ireland 11 points; SA 4 points (away 3, home 6) Away win record: Ireland 33.33%; SA 25% Neutral matches 1: Ireland win RWC France 2023. Last SA win June 2016 (8 years ago) They boast 3 World cups in that period (they do boast). The above record is not good, probably not much better than theirs against NZ for same period. That’s why the dopey E is starting fights in his head. He will probably ship a yellow when things don’t go their way in the first test.

1 Go to commentsThis has the makings of a good match. That’s Leinster’s second team but its a good one (stronger than the teams in SA recently). Ulster are really turning a page. Ryan back is huge, and Keenan too. This could be a cracker.
1 Go to commentsThe Farrells are one of the great father and son combinations. Andy was an RL great, and had he played Union as his first sport, I would be sure he would have been avery significant forcewas in League. And Owen, a Union great, who had he played League, would could have been a great there too i all probability. I feel my attitude to Owen has mellowed as he has aged, and in the post Jones era, evolved and shown his full range of talents. He really is an all round player, and I have wold hope his move to France will be successful. He may even be the piece in the jigsaw that Racing need to rise to challenge Toulouse and LAR. He is ofc now approaching 33 years of age but should still have enough left to make a big contribution in France for at least2/3 years.
45 Go to commentsI reckon it may be Jordan at 10 and Nohamba at 9, both players have played together alot and both have been on the Radar for a long time. After Pollard got injured in 2022 with Elton sidelined on a path of self destruction Erasmus and Nienaber indicated that the other options in the country at the time were thin but that Jordan and Manie were the 2 they were looking at. In the end Frans steyn played flyhalf, Willemse slotted in there on the end of year with Libbok as back up. Jordan was right there in the thinking back then so expect him to take the Jersey either as the starter.
