Welwitschias lean on home crowd spirit ahead of Africa Cup final Erasmus Shalihaxwe The national rugby team, the Welwitschias, have called on supporters to rally behind them as they prepare to face Zimbabwe in the Rugby Africa Cup final. The final is set for Saturday at Mandela National Stadium in Kampala, Uganda, where the tournament has been taking place for the past two weeks, featuring several African rugby nations. Speaking on Wednesday, vice-captain Danco Burger thanked sponsors and fans for their support so far and urged them to continue backing the team in the final. “I would love to thank our loyal supporters and sponsors for your immense support these couple of days. I would like to ask again for your support; please rally behind the boys. We are going to need your support against Zimbabwe. I know this final is going to be a massive one; thank you very much,” said Burger. Reflecting on the team’s recent win over Algeria, Burger said it was a tough match that required strength and teamwork. He highlighted that the team’s ability to play cohesively played a crucial role in their victory. “We spoke about the Algerian team’s physicality and the intensity they bring in the back line, and they tested us a couple of times. But the positive thing for us in this was our execution. Our execution level was quite good and high,” he said. Burger added that the team still needs to improve certain tactics to better manage pressure from their opponents. “Obviously there are still a few things that we need to work on to improve our game before we take on Zimbabwe in the final this coming weekend,” he stated. The winner of Saturday’s final will earn automatic qualification to the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. Namibia has qualified for every World Cup since making its debut in 1999.

Fearless Chiefs plot raid on Crusaders fortress in Super Rugby final Waikato Chiefs will not “have any fear” of playing next week’s Super Rugby final against Canterbury Crusaders in Christchurch, despite the home side’s formidable record there. The Chiefs advanced to a third successive grand final appearance with an accomplished 37-17 semi-final win over the ACT Brumbies on Saturday. After losing the 2023 decider to the Crusaders and last year’s to the Auckland Blues, coach Clayton McMillan believes his team are ready to take the next step and lift the silverware for the first time since 2013. Standing in their way on Saturday will be the competition’s greatest side, who have never been beaten at home in Super Rugby knockout matches. The Crusaders are chasing a 13th full-season Super Rugby title and have won all 31 of their play-off matches in Christchurch dating back to 1996. Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan said he and his team will be unfazed as they plot their raid on the Crusaders home fortress. “We don’t have any fear about going down to Christchurch and playing the Crusaders,” McMillan told reporters after the semi-final victory. “We’re one team that’s had our fair share of success down there but we still know it’s not going to be easy. “They’ve got a formidable record and they’re a quality team.” Under McMillan, the Chiefs have won three of their last five matches in Christchurch, all in the regular season, including last month’s 35-19 victory when they fought back from 16 points down. Since then the Crusaders have won six straight matches, including Friday’s tense 21-14 semi-final takedown of the defending champions Auckland Blues. McMillan says his team showed they have the mindset to win a big match with their pragmatic performance against the Brumbies. All Blacks fly-half Damian McKenzie kicked six penalty goals as the Chiefs turned to forward control and territory to see off the Australian visitors. “We’ve never shied away from the fact that we’ve been in the last two finals and haven’t quite got the job done,” McMillan said. “We’re under no illusion as to what it takes. “But one of our Achilles heels in the past has been that we’ve wanted something so bad that it actually just becomes a little bit detrimental sometimes. You try a little bit too hard.” The final will be the last match of McMillan’s five-year tenure before taking up the head coach post at Irish club Munster. Chiefs fullback Shaun Stevenson is in doubt for the decider after failing a head injury assessment during the Brumbies match.

Great interception from Bath 👏🏽 #RugbyFinal

Crusaders survive bruising contest to secure home Super Rugby final The Canterbury Crusaders reached the Super Rugby final after fighting back for a nail-biting 21-14 win over holders the Auckland Blues in Christchurch on Friday. It takes the Crusaders’ record in home playoff games to 31-0 since the competition’s inception. That perfect record had looked at serious risk after a brilliant start from the visiting Blues, but by half time their advantage was gone. The home side then withstood more than five minutes and 35 phases of Blues attack on their own line to conclude the game, earning a home final against either the Waikato Chiefs or ACT Brumbies as they chase an eighth title in nine years. “Just pride from me,” Crusaders winger Will Jordan said at the end of a brutal 80 minutes. “Some guys must have made 10 or 15 tackles just in that final five minutes.” The start of the semi-final was a tactical arm wrestle, with several kicks showing the nervy nature of the opening exchanges. Eventually one of those kicks paid off, with a crafty chip in behind the Crusaders defence giving the Blues the ball on their opponents’ goal line. Mark Telea crashed over after space opened up on the right flank. Rieko Ioane doubled the Blues’ advantage soon after. A grubber kick pulled up just shy of the Crusaders line and halfback Noah Hotham was only able to collect before being tackled out of play. From the resulting set piece Ioane crashed over under the posts to become the Blues’ all-time leading try-scorer, ahead of Doug Howlett. That seemed to wake Canterbury from their slumber. The Crusaders immediately won the ball back from the kick off and marched over through Tom Christie. Two minutes later, Blues prop Joshua Fusitu’a was handed a yellow card for a dangerous tackle and the Crusaders capitalised to tie it up. Jordan received the ball with a blue wall of defenders between him and the line but jinked past three before stretching to score. The tug of war continued at the start of the second half as neither side was able to gain a tangible advantage. With 10 minutes remaining, and after almost 20 minutes of sustained Crusaders pressure, Jordan scored his second of the match near the left flank to give his side their first lead of the evening. The Blues had been scrambling to stay in the match, penalised several times and even enduring a scrum without two proven props on the field. Number eight Hoskins Sotutu was carded late on after a high tackle on Chay Fihaki, which left the Crusaders winger dazed, but the Blues still threw everything at a late equaliser. Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu said his side let the Crusaders back into the match. “They were able to capitalise and on top of that we were pretty ill-disciplined,” he said. “We showed a lot of courage in that last five minutes, but it wasn’t enough.” The post Crusaders survive bruising contest to secure home Super Rugby final appeared first on The Namibian.
