The New Zealanders, who suffered their first group stage defeat in their World Cup history a week ago, showed their mettle on Friday evening: they entered Namibia’s goal box six times in the first half – with the fourth extra-point goal already on target in the 25th minute – as their crushing advantage continued. In the second forty minutes.
The Black Shirts, who clinched their 50th World Cup victory with a thumping advantage, scored a total of 11 goals – the opposition did not have a single one – with Cam Roegaard and Damian McKenzie scoring twice each, with the latter also scoring eight free-kicks to end the encounter. With 26 points.
Unfortunately, a serious injury occurred in the first half: after a collision Le Roux Malan His twisted right foot looked horribly, possibly broken – teammates and nearby opponents shook their heads at the sight – and the Namibian midfielder was carried off the pitch on a stretcher to thunderous applause from the Toulouse crowd.
