Tri-Nations decider in Windhoek

Tri-Nations decider in Windhoek


After each side has beaten Zimbabwe, the final match of the Tri-Nations being played in Windhoek will decide whether Spain or Namibia will be the winner of this new tournament.


Last Saturday Namibia beat Zimbabwe 37-33 and on Wednesday Spain beat the Sables 47-1 , scoring six tries to one. Namibia scored four tries against Zimbabwe but had five scored against them.


It's hard to believe that Namibia will win.
