Namibia beat Tunisia 22-10 in a tense and physical match in Windhoek on Saturday to qualify for Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand and join world champions South Africa, Wales, Fiji and Samoa in Pool D.
The victory gives Namibia a 40-23 aggregate victory after they
won the first leg in Tunis 18-13 a fortnight ago, the first time
the away side had won an encounter between the two African rivals.
The battle for the Africa number one qualifying spot was still
wide open at half time with Tunisia holding a narrow 10-9 lead.
However, the visitors' discipline let them down as they were
continuously penalised for offside and ruck infringements with
Namibian flyhalf Emile Wessels taking full advantage with his
accurate boot.
The victory at the Hage Geingob Stadium represented the fourth
successive time Namibia have qualified for the showpiece tournament
while Tunisia have another chance to qualify for their first ever
World Cup, via the cross-continental playoff next year.
