Namibia fought from behind to clinch a memorable match 48-43 against the gallant and exciting Papua New Guineans, to finish the IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy in fifth place for the second year running.
Some outstanding attacking running rugby allowed underdogs PNG to build a 24-21 half time lead against the more physical Africans at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi, but as the second half wore on Namibia took a firmer grip on the match against 14-man PNG.
