Namibia end run of Rugby World Cup qualification

 

A 26-8 defeat by Samoa means Namibia won't be appearing at the 2027 Rugby World Cup, the first finals the nation will miss since 1995.

Though they have yet to win a match at the game's showpiece, Namibia have featured in all seven tournaments since their debut in 1999. However, defeats by Belgium and Samoa at the Final Qualification Tournament in Dubai means Peter Rossouw’s side are out.
