Canada, Namibia rue missed shot at rare Rugby World Cup win - TSN.ca

It wasn’t the way Namibia and Canada wanted to end long losing streaks at the Rugby World Cup.

“We gained one point in the last World Cup, and this year we’ve gained two,” Davies said. “Statistically we’ve improved.” “I believe we would have won today. That would have given us a sense of an outcome. This feels like there’s no outcome at the moment. It’s a bit raw.” “The amount of commitment and effort they’ve put in over the last four years has been monumental, phenomenal,” he said. “The last two World Cups have brought pride, passion and respect to Namibian rugby and built on the legacies of the previous four World Cups. The players have to take huge credit for that.”

He was proud of where he leaves Namibia, with the establishment of a national academy four years ago and a high-performance center at the national stadium. Like Namibia, Canada lost to New Zealand and Italy, and was on a five-day turnaround after a heavy loss to South Africa.
