Namibia makes it to 2011 Rugby World Cup
Namibia qualified for a fourth straight Rugby World Cup when it beat Tunisia 22-10 to wrap up their two-leg African playoff on Saturday.
Namibia won the first leg 18-13 two weeks ago, but the second was in doubt going into the second half with Tunisia leading 10-9 at Hage Geingob Stadium.
Tunisia eventually penalised itself out of contention however, Namibia going ahead with Emile Wessels' fourth penalty before a converted try by No.8 Tinus du Plessis.
At the World Cup in New Zealand, Namibia will play in Pool D with defending champion South Africa, Wales, Samoa and Fiji.
