WINDHOEK, (Xinhua) --
Namibia’s Rugby team ‘Welwitschias’ assistant
coach Rodger Thompson said his team is ready to retain the Gold
Cup ahead of their tie against Zimbabwe’s ‘Sables’ on July 15 in
Windhoek at the Hage Geinob Stadium.
Namibia recently
came out victorious after they thumped Senegal 95-0 last week
and retuned to the top of the table, three points ahead of Kenya
‘Simbas’.
“We all know of how
potent the Zimbabwe back three is, but we are prepared for their
team, both physically and mentally,” Thompson said on Wednesday.
According to
Thompson, the ‘Sables’ always present a different challenge and
to counter that he said that Namibia went back to the drawing
board to fix the obvious problems, like their kick game.
Furthermore he said
that since his team is a mixture of talent in all age groups,
they are going to use the seniors to boost the confidence of the
juniors.
“We have a healthy
balance of juniors in the team, so basically we might say our
fitness levels are on point,” he said.
