Namibia Form

Namibia are regulars at the Rugby World Cup but have never won a match at the tournament. This year they will be seeking that first victory.

The Namibians have lost two of their three warm-up games to date. They did however stage a superb comeback to beat Chile 28-26 in their last outing.

Namibia Injuries & Team News

Namibia will feature their best side with this their last match before the World Cup.

Bulls Form

The Bulls are a South African franchise team that plays in the United Rugby Championship. This fixture is part of their pre-season.

Head coach, Jake White will have a decent squad to pick from despite a few players being on international duty. Last season the Bulls were average, losing in the quarter-final of the URC, but they made the final the year before.

Bulls Injuries & Team News

Jake White will pick a reasonably strong side for this fixture. While it is preseason, he will want Namibia to get a good game in before the showpiece event.

Verdict

Namibia v Bulls

I am backing the Bulls to get the win in this match.
