The battle lines have been drawn in the Officeconomix Goodwill Cup between Namibia’s Welwitschias and a resolute and dangerous Blue Bulls Invitation XV. Namibia's national rugby team is set to confront fan favourites Blue Bulls at the Hage Geingob Stadium tomorrow at 15:00.

Namibia announced earlier this week that it intends to field many of its local players to test their readiness for elite competitions going forward.

The match will also serve as preparation for the World Cup qualifiers.

The Bulls, on the other hand, always come to Namibia with the aim of showcasing why they are one of South Africa’s most adored clubs.

The odds in this match favour the visitors, who have dominated this kind of fixture in the past.

Namibia's team is, however, prepared to stand their ground this time around by taking the match to their opponents.

Led by Chrysander Botha, the players will want to impress to boost their chances of becoming part of the Rugby World Cup qualifying squad.

The day will also be filled with school rugby action before the big match, and Namibia Media Holdings will broadcast the match live on its popular NTV channel and its social media platforms.

Tickets are N$40 and can be bought online at Web Tickets Namibia.
