Namibia are still chasing their first Rugby World Cup victory in what will be their final match of RWC 2023. They are one of seven teams who have never won a match, alongside Chile, Zimbabwe, Ivory Coast, Spain, Portugal and Russia, but have played the most games of any team without a win. The closest they have come to victory was a one-point loss against Georgia in 2015.
Uruguay will be looking to end a five-game RWC losing streak. They have never lost six consecutive games, ending their last losing run of five-straight matches with a 30-27 victory against Fiji at RWC 2019.
This will be the sixth meeting between the two nations. Uruguay have won four of the last five games, including a 26-18 victory in a warm-up match in Montevideo this year. This will be their first meeting at a Rugby World Cup.
Both Uruguay and Namibia are winless and tied on 0 points in Pool A, with the South Americans in fifth place due to a significantly better points difference.
