Les Blues made a statement early in the tournament by taking down three-time World Champions New Zealand by 27-13, yesterday. Italy, Namibia, and Uruguay are also in Pool A with the heavyweights France and New Zealand, as two teams will make it to the quarter-finals.

Italy have played in every edition of the Rugby World Cup. They are yet to reach the quarter-finals of this competition, finishing third in their pool every time except 1999. A promising side and heading into the tournament with good form, this could be Italy’s year.

On the other hand, Namibia will look for their first victory in their Rugby World Cup history. They have played 22 matches, with one match canceled in Japan, in six tournaments to date. Their best result was a 16-15 loss against Georgia, in 2015.

This may be their year as the Welwitschias will play against France, New Zealand, and Uruguay in Pool A this year.

Italy and Namibia met in Pool B four years ago in the Rugby World Cup in Japan, in what was their first meeting in the tournament. Italy won the match in the rain but Namibia won the hearts of the fans.
