WINDHOEK, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- Namibia will play their final Europe rugby tour match against Portugal on Saturday with the aim to win and improve their performance.
Namibia senior men's head coach, Phil Davies in a team announcement and update of the tour Thursday said, it will again be a tough match for the young squad.
Davies said it has been a good tour and one that has challenged the players both on and off the field.
"It has certainly provided us with increased knowledge of how people react to different conditions and the circumstances of day to day touring pressures," he added.
According to Davies this will be invaluable as Namibia build for the World Cup in Japan 2019 and the tour has certainly challenged everyone and created an understanding of Northern hemisphere rugby.
Since the kick off of the Europe tour on Nov. 10, Namibia has failed to record a win, losing to Russia and Spain.
Meanwhile, the first 15 for Saturday's match is as follows: Casper Viviers, Obert Nortje, AJ De Klerk, Adriaan Ludick, Tjiuee Uanivi, Thomasau Forbes, Max Katjijeko, Rohan Kitshoff (Vice Captain), Damian Stevens, Cliven Loubser, Johan Tromp, Darryl De La Harpe (Captain), JC Greyling, Chad Plato (First Start) and Chrysander Botha.
