Kudos to Namibia for their stellar performance against France in the Rugby World Cup! Under the expert guidance of ex-Springbok coach, Allister Coetzee, the team showcased extraordinary sportsmanship and a relentless 'never say die' attitude. They went toe-to-toe with one of the rugby giants. Coetzee's influence was evident in their tactical discipline and unity. Despite the outcome, Namibia earned immense respect and proved that they're up for any challenge. Well done, lads! You've made not just Namibia, but the entire rugby community, immensely proud.
Games between nations like this are unfair on weaker unions when it comes to world cups tournaments weaker unions should be in the same groups if anything to give them the winning experience and outside of these tournaments the tour other nations to gain the experience . Argentina and italy are classic examples of this and look at them now . better stronger and more understanding
As a Frenchman I wonder what kind of injury got Dupont. 4 weeks and the best player in the world won't be able to play against SA or Ireland. This is gonna be a tough one...
