[Rugby Africa]Kenya will have to qualify for the 2023 Rugby World Cup the hard way after they blew away their direct chance to get to France on Sunday night. The defeat slowed Kenya’s quest to grace the Rugby World Cup for the first time. Namibia in the process booked their place in Group A of next year’s Rugby World Cup in France, alongside hosts, New Zealand, Italy and Uruguay. The Repechage is the final stage of the qualification process where four teams playing in a round-robin format, compete for the final World Cup spot.
