Welwitschias seek first win

The Windhoek Draught Welwitschias travel to South Africa with hope of earning their first SuperSport Challenge win against the Seval Pumas on Sunday at 13:00, South African time. Just like last season in the Currie Cup competition, the side has failed to secure any points, making them one of the underperforming teams in the group. Last week's 14-112 defeat to the Golden Lions was testament that the team's chances of progressing to the next round hang in the balance. The Namibians now face a daunting task away from home given that the Pumas are not one of the easiest teams the competition. However, the players and coach remain optimistic that they are not so far away from their first win in the competition. Coach Lyn Jones says he is satisfied with the way the players have performed, despite failing to win a game after three matches. The team will be hoping that their captain, Eugene Jantjies, will step up his game in order to lead them to a famous victory on enemy territory. Another player who has shown determination is centre Darryl de la Harpe. The player is determined to inspire his teammates in a crucial away match at the Bill Jardine Stadium in Johannesburg. With the 2019 Rugby World Cup draw announced, the Namibia Rugby Union expects the players to start playing with all guns blazing. Squad list: Collen Smith, Shaun du Preez, Andries Rossouw, Thomas Kali, Max Kasiringua, Rohan Kitshoff, Leneve Damens, Victor Rodriguez, Eugene Jantjies, Theuns Kotze, Gino Wilson, Darryl de la Harpe, JC Greyling, Lesley Klim and David Philander. Reserves: Orbet Nortje, Christo McNish, Ruan Ludick, Adrian Booysen, Cameron Klassen and Heinrich Smith.JESSE JACKSON KAURAISA
