Time to shine
The Windhoek Draught Welwitschias will be packed with young blood in their encounter against the Xerox Lions on Saturday.
Supporters of the Windhoek Draught Welwitschias will have the opportunity to see new players come to the foray as close to 15 senior players will not be available for the weekend's match.
The senior players will be participating in the World Rugby Nations Cup qualifiers in Uruguay on the same day, also with the hope of making the nation proud.
The team is now focused on putting up a positive display and to show supporters that they can grow and develop with their support despite their loss to Vodacom Blue Bulls last weekend in a one-sided Super Sport Rugby Challenge match.
Team coach Lyn Jones said that everyone has their eye on the ball as always, and with improvement in fitness they plan to execute tactics they practiced.
Jones said that by August he would like the team to be 10% fitter than they are now and that they will do by working hard and focusing on learning about each individual player's way of play.
He also commented that the development plan which they have designed will help the team's world rankings. “Moving up in world rankings is every rugby team's dream, but that we want to do it with more speed than all the other team,” he said.
The Welsh national also added that the team was disappointed by last weekend's game, but that there are many positive aspects to the game which they learned from. “We need to work hard, believe in ourselves and make each and every player better for the future.”
