A Veritable Score-Fest for the 2018 U20 Junior Barthes Trophy

 

Namibia is qualified for the U-20 World Cup to be held in Bucharest from 28th August to 9th September 2018

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, April 10, 2018/APO Group/ — The African Under-20 Rugby Championship took place from March 28th to 31st, 2018. The competition was split into two groups (the North played in Tunisia and South in Namibia) competing at a distance for the African championship title.

 

More than 394 points and 53 tries were scored in 8 matches.

  • Namibia emerged victorious from the South group after a match of exceptional intensity against Kenya.
  • Tunisia won the final of the North group, a match full of suspense right up to the final whistle with a dramatic drop goal by the number 10 m, Dhia Ben Dhied, in the second minute of extra time.

Namibia was the overall winner of the tournament with a higher goal-average. Rugby Africa (www.RugbyAfrique.com) will not be organising a final between the winners of the two groups.
