Tough test for Welwitschias

The Windhoek Draught Welwitschias have their sights set on playing their way into the top four on the log when they host the Eagles in the race to the semis.The visitors sit a point above the home side, which will propel the Welwitschias to work hard to change that status. That will not be easy for them as the visitors have won two matches so far and the Welwitschias only one, although the Namibians have scored 12 more tries than their counterparts from George. The Eagles beat fourth-placed Hino Valke 13-9 in a tight affair at Outeniqua Park in George last Friday. However, the home side has not been that lucky, losing 78-29 to the Leopards last weekend. The Leopards have superior attacking and defensive skills, meaning the home side will need to step up their attack and deliver a solid defensive effort to counter the visitors. At the moment, Griffons lead the log with 20 points, Leopards stand on 17, Boland Kavaliers 12, Hino Valke and SWD Eagles 11, Windhoek Draught Welwitschias 9, Border Bulldogs 7, and bottom of the log is Eastern Province with 3 points. Before the match kicks off there will be a curtain-raiser Gold Cup match between Western Suburbs and IMT Sishen Rugby Club. Also on the programme for the day are under-13 rugby matches starting at 12:30 and girls' rugby at 13:30. Tickets are available at the entrance as well as online at www.webtickets.com.na or any Pick n Pay store. Main stand seats cost N$60, while adults will pay N$30 for a seat on the open stand and children N$10. The match kicks off at 16:00. Welwitschias squad: Desiderius Sethie, Niel van Vuuren, Nelius Theron, Mahepisa Tjeriko, Ruan Ludick, Rohan Kitshoff (vice-captain), Max Katjiteko, Christo van der Merwe, Eugene Jantjies (captain), Theuns Kotze, David Philander, JC Greyling, Lesley Klim, Russell van Wyk, Mahco Prinsloo, Orbert Nortje, André Rademeyer, Hauta Veii, Adriaan Booysen, Thomas Kali, Cameron Klassen and Johan Tromp.LIMBA MUPETAMI
