Welwitschias run riot against the Falcons

Chrysander Botha

Namibia’s Welwitschias beat the Falcons 66-35 in a thrilling Vodacom Cup match in Windhoek on Friday night.

The Welwitschias got off to a flyer, scoring three tries within five minutes to race into a 19-0 lead, but the visitors made a determined comeback to reduce the deficit to 26-16 at halftime.

They scored a converted try early in the second half to come within three points of the Welwitschias, but that’s the closest they got as the home side stepped up the tempo to run in 10 tries in a scintillating display of attacking rugby.
