Namibia Win Africa 1 RWC 2011

Namibia known locally by the nickname Welwitschias have won their African Qualifying group beating Tunisia home and away to secure the Africa 1 spot into pool 'D'. This means that Namibia are now in their fourth World Cup.

It's Namibia's forth World Cup, having played in Wales in 1999, Australia 2003 and France 2007. On all occasions they failed to record a win and scored only 14 points in 1999 but doubled it to 28 in 2003, improving slightly to 30 points in 2007, though they did score 17 of these against Ireland going down 32-17. They'll be looking forward to improving on that this time out in New Zealand.

Namibia have released their new shirt for the Rugby World Cup It holds true to the previous colours being blue, with a red collar and white sides. The IRB 2007 logo is on the right chest and the national emblem on the left. The shirt which is manufactured by Gilbert holds their logo in the middle of the chest.

Namibia though aren't kidding themselves and ranked 22nd in the world they just hope to play attractive rugby and gain respect in the International arena. They are grouped in pool D with South Africa, Wales, Fiji and Samoa? They will not be expected to win any games unless they surprise Fiji or Samoa, both of whom are ranked much higher.
