Rassie Erasmus makes some changes to his line-up, the most eye catching being the deployment of Schalk Brits at Number 8. Brits has had some year, the hooker firstly retired from playing, then came back, then returned to the national squad and now he’s playing in the back row in a World Cup. Oldest story in the world, eh? The backline has much to it as well,and the two Jantjieses at half back are the perfect pairing to orchestrate the mauling this is likely to be.
Mark Jones, former Wales winger and now part of the Namibia coaching setup, said this week, “we have to rely on ourselves being resilient in defence”. Yeah, good luck with that. But, what Namibia always bring is commitment and whatever the score ends up as, it won’t be due to a lack of them trying to prevent it.
