Message from World Rugby:


Safety is our number one consideration and with Typhoon Hagibis predicted to impact Kamaishi in the early hours of Sunday morning, we continue to be in close contact with the city and the local authorities regarding the viability of hosting the match on Sunday as scheduled.

Eugene Jantjies has been on the losing side in all 14 of his appearances at the World Cup, meaning he now holds the tournament record for most losses, beating the 13 defeats in the competition suffered by Romania's Ovidiu Tonita.

Tjiuee Uanivi is the only player from either Namibia or Canada to have played every minute of his side's RWC 2019 campaign so far.

There are only four Namibians in the starting XV on Sunday who started Namibia's last test against Canada – a 17-13 defeat in Colwyn Bay in November 2014. They are Torsten Van Jaarsveld, Tjiuee Uanivi, Johan Deysel and Daryl De La Harpe.

Tjiuee Uanivi, JC Greyling and Johan Tromp will be the only Namibian players to have started all four of their matches at RWC 2019.

Namibia make six changes to the starting XV who lost 71-9 to New Zealand last Sunday. Johannes Coetzee, Johan Retief, Wian Conradie, Eugene Jantjies, Cliven Loubser and Darryl De La Harpe return to the starting line-up.
