Welwitschias to tackle BulldogsFresh from playing one of their best matches in the Currie Cup, the Windhoek Draught Welwitschias will be travelling to South Africa to take on Border Bulldogs in East London on Saturday.
Although the Namibian side lost their first two matches in the First Division of the Currie Cup, last weekend’s clash against Leopards showed glimpses of their potential.
The Welwitschias were competitive and managed to score six tries. That earned them a bonus point, boosting confidence that they can add to their points tally this weekend.
The Bulldogs are only two places above the Namibians and have two points after narrowly losing 24-26 to Leopards in Potchefstroom.
Welwitschias coach John Williams believes that victory is not far from becoming an attainable goal.
“We are getting used to playing at this level and the win is not far off,” he told reporters after last week’s match at the Hage Geingob Stadium.
This will be the Welwitschias’ second away match.
They have one more fixture in South Africa - against Griffons in Welkom on September 10. Their last game in the tournament will be at home, against Valke at the Hage Geingob Stadium on September 17.
