Aim is two World Cup wins – Allister

Namibian head coach and director of rugby, Allister Coetzee, says he aims to win two matches at the World Cup in France, with his team from the Land of the Brave. At the second national training camp attended by 45 players in Swakopmund on Saturday, Coetzee said: “Two wins will be a bonus and that’s what we are going for. We will shoot for the stars and hopefully land on the moon. “We have to aim higher that just going for one win. We have talent here and once the players understand that they play for the country and its people, they can go and make anything happen on the field. “It is up to the players to use and capitalize on the opportunity.”He expressed his satisfaction with the progress being made by the players in the extended group. “I’ve notice a big improvement since the last training camp we had in Windhoek and I am quite pleased with where the players are at. They are from different clubs, with different levels conditioning and playing in various competitions. “When this is the case what normally happens is that some deconditioning starts to set in towards the end of their seasons. We are currently trying to get everyone on the same standard and that is why we are doing baseline tests, like running the Bronco,” Coetzee said.Leading up to the 2023 Rugby World Cup, Namibia will compete in the Rugby Nations Cup, playing against Argentina XV and Uruguay in Montevideo and against Chile in Santiago.A yet to be selected team of 35 players will depart to South America on Sunday 23 July.The remaining squad for this week:Props: Herman Agenbag, Jason Benade, Aranos Coetzee, André Rademeyer, Desiderius Sethie, Herschell van Wyk, Casper Viviers.Hookers – Wikus Jacobs, Gihard Visagie, Torsten van Jaarsveld, Louis van der Westhuizen.Locks: Tiaan de Klerk, Adriaan Ludick , Ruan Ludick, Mahepisa Tjeriko, Tjiuee Uanivi, PJ van Lill.Loose forwards: Adriaan Booysen, Wian Conradie, Richard Hardwick, Max Katjijeko, Prince !Goaseb, Johan Retief, Oderich Mouton, Johan.Scrumhalves: Helarius Kisting, Damian Stevens, Jacques Theron.Fly-halves: Cliven Loubser, PW Steenkamp, Tiaan Swanepoel.Centres: Danco Burger, Johan Deysel, Le Roux Malan, Jay-Cee Nel, Natie Janse van Rensburg, PJ Walters.Wings and full-backs: JC Greyling, Lloyd Jacobs, Warren Ludwig, Gerswin Mouton, Chad Plato, Divan Rossouw, André van der Berg.Released or injured players: Herman Coetzee, Haitembu Shikufa, Lebeau du Preez, Wynand Breytenbach, Cameron Langenhoven, Thomasau Forbes, Oela Blaauw, AJ Kearns, Owen Hawanga, Alcino Izaaks, Hillian Beukes, Lesley Klim, Lorenzo Louis.
