Uruguay and Namibia meet in the Rugby World Cup's only game on Wednesday. Both teams believe they can win in Lyon and end winless records in Pool A.
For the only time in the tournament, Uruguay will start as a favorite. It’s a mental switch that will put a little pressure on Los Teros to deliver.
“Uruguay has only won three games in all the history of the Rugby World Cup, and this adds some pressure on our side. We must accept this as there are a lot of people talking about the good performances we are having at this Rugby World Cup. We’ve received very nice messages, too. But the truth is that if we do not win against Namibia we wouldn’t confirm this great progress.”
Namibia has reached its fourth and last match in 18 days depleted. It is without first-choice players Le Roux Malan and captain Johan Deysel in midfield, flanker Wian Conradie and fullback Divan Rossouw. Flanker Tjiuee Uanivi is captain.
