In their first match on May 8 in Argentina, the southern African country was hammered 62-7.
The Namibia Rugby Union (NRU)’s chief executive officer Christo Alexander confirmed the scoreline to Nampa yesterday.

The home encounter will be at the Hage Geingob Stadium on June 27.
Meanwhile, Alexander said tickets for the South African Springboks’ match against their Namibian counterparts are being sold at all Mobile Telecommunication Limited (MTC) outlets in the capital only.
