Namibia have been in every World Cup since 1999, and have never made it further than the pool stages.

They rank at 20th spot on World Rugby’s latest rankings and are yet to win a game at the tournament.

Namibia face New Zealand, followed by Pool C matches against Georgia, Tonga and Argentina, all teams ranked in the top 15 and above.

Namibia and South Africa are the only two African nations at this year's World Cup.
