[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 793919, member: 40658"] Most of the top Namibian players play rugby in South Africa for the Super Rugby teams, guys like Torsten Van Jaarsveld (Hooker) plays for the Cheetahs and Renaldo Bothma (Flanker) plays for the Bulls. There isn't a major tournament in Namibia for proffessional players. They only have an amateur league. And due to the distance between towns, it makes it rather difficult to keep it going. A school friend of mine lives in Gobabis, and plays for their local club, and sometimes they have to ask local farmers just for a lift in one of their transport trucks to get to the next town to play a game. SA rugby always tries to help the other african countries in developing their game, and there's a lot of programmes around. But it seems like the african countries mainly try to focus on 7's rugby as it takes less players to compile a team. There's a tournament every year just before the World 7's series starts, where SA invite the other countries to play as a warm-up for our 7's team before the Series starts. [/QUOTE]
