WINDHOEK (Reuters) - Namibia assistant coach Jacques Burger is expecting a frenetic spectacle when his side host Kenya in a straight shootout for a place at the 2019 World Cup in Japan in their final Rugby Africa Gold Cup clash in Windhoek on Saturday.

Namibia head the round-robin qualification table by three points from Kenya. Both sides have won all four of their matches but Namibia's dominant performances so far have earned them four bonus points to Kenya's one.
