Kenya Simbas coach Jerome Paarater has now called on his team to create history by winning the Africa Gold Cup by beating Namibia in their backyard on Saturday.
It will be winner-takes-all clash in Windhoek after Kenya beat Zimbabwe 41-22 in Bulawayo on Saturday as Namibia crushed Uganda 48-24 in Kampala.
Holders Namibia led the standings on 20 points with Kenya second on 17. Paarater said the task will be difficult but has called on the boys to deliver a historic win against the champions.
“It won’t be easy but from what we saw against the Zimbabwe game, we had the resilience and patience to execute a good game plan and we carried the day,” added Paartwter as quoted by the Star.
“It was not about playing extensive and funny rugby, it was just to play winning rugby which is ugly at times ugly but it was a good game.”
The South African tactician observed that work needs to be done on one-on-one tackles.
“We have work to do especially on one-on-one tackles to make sure the attacking player does not get to the advantage line,” said Paarwater.
Kenya outscored the Sables by five tries to three in a demanding contest played in the rugby heartland of Zimbabwe.
