Namibia (and Romania) are getting stick about the scores against them.
But add some context.
Forget populations etc.
The amount of top Tests they had pre-WC were minimal and in some cases for tier 2 sides non existent.
#NAM played the Bulls!
Tonga, for example, couldn’t get a Test organised after their games against Canada and had a month off before their opening game against Ireland.
Then Namibia play all their #RWC2023 pool fixtures in a 17 day period, France in 28!
Ireland have 14 days between SA and Scotland.
The blowout scores aren’t a great look at all but some context is needed.
“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”
