Kenya and Namibia to play decisive Rugby World Cup 2019 qualifier

Kenya and Namibia will compete on Saturday to claim the Rugby Africa Gold Cup title and a direct qualification place for Rugby World Cup 2019 after the Kenyans defeated Tunisia 67-0 on Saturday.

Namibia are four points ahead of Kenya with a superior points difference heading into the decisive match in Windhoeck (KO 16:00 local time) and a bonus point will be enough to confirm champion status and a place in Pool B at Japan 2019 alongside New Zealand, South Africa, Italy and the repechage winner.  

The loser on Saturday will remain in Rugby World Cup 2019 contention but will need to win November's repechage in Marseille where they will meet Canada, Hong Kong and Germany. 

In the weekend's other match, Uganda defeated Morocco 47-29, but Kenya's bonus point win ended Ugandan hopes of a repechage place.
