Namibia switch from bruisers to ball players

NAMIBIA have drastically altered their team and tactics for the game against Ireland tomorrow after the harsh lesson knocked into them by Argentina in Gosford this week.

Dave Waterston’s team attempted to knock heads with the Pumas much vaunted pack last Tuesday and aside from the initial ‘getting-to-know-you’ exchanges were blown away by the sheer power of the South Americans up front.

The response has seen two changes in the pack with the more mobile Archie Graham and Wolfie Duvenhage replacing Eben Isaacs and Herman Lintvelt at lock and flanker respectively, to deal with an Irish pack they perceive as more mobile than their tormentors of five days ago.
