Namibia, Kenya win to set up appetising finale

NAMIBIA beat Uganda 48-24 in Kampala on Saturday to stay firmly on track to retain the Africa Rugby Gold Cup for the fourth year in a row.

Namibia led 22-10 at halftime and ran in a total of seven tries to complete a comfortable victory which sees them remaining at the top of the log on 20 points from four matches. Their closest rivals, Kenya also recorded a comfortable 41-22 victory away to Zimbabwe in Bulawayo to remain second on the log on 17 points, and set up a mouthwatering finale when Namibia and Kenya clash in Windhoek next Saturday. In Kampala, Uganda took an early lead when their lock forward Asuman Mugerwa charged over from a maul for a try converted by fullback Philip Wokorach. Fly half Cliven Loubser opened Namibia's account with a penalty, and the visitors took the lead for the first time when centre Justin Newman touched down after a fine break by his centre partner JC Greyling.
