Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Namibia national U\/20 rugby team will be hoping to start their 2024 Barthes Cup on high note when they square it off against Kenya in the opening match.<\/p>\n

The U\/20 are currently in Zimbabwe where they will compete in the youth tournament starting today. Namibia will face Kenya in their first match today, which will commence at 14h00.<\/p>\n

They will then play against host nations in tomorrow\u2019s tie and their second match before concluding their last match on Friday against Tunisia in another exciting match that rugby fans can look forward too.<\/p>\n

The tournament will run from today until 27 March, at Old Georgian Sport Club in Harare, Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe are the defending champions, with hope to retain the title this season as so much is at stake. The winner for this year\u2019s event will join Uruguay, Netherlands, United States of America or Canada in Pool B for the World Rugby U\/20 trophy set in Edinburg, Scotland.<\/p>\n
