CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Namibia do not expect to beat favourites New Zealand in their opening match at the Rugby World Cup next month but coach Phil Davies says his part-time players are eagerly anticipating their moment in the spotlight.

Namibia face the most demanding schedule of all the teams participating in the tournament in England -- four group matches in 17 days -- but are taking on the challenge with enthusiasm, the former Welsh international said in an interview with Reuters.
