The Namibian Under-20 Rugby Fifteen suffered their second defeat in the ongoing Junior Rugby Tournament in Santiago, Chile.

The youngsters were beaten 20-6 by the host nation in their second group match of the tournament, and face an uphill battle to qualify for the knockout stage when they meet Cook Islands in their last group match tomorrow.

Namibia opened their assault in the tournament with a narrow defeat at the hands of Romania - going down by 26 points to 24 and will have to pull out all stops in their last group match against the highly rated Cook Islands if they are to have any mathematical chance of leaving an impression on the Youth Tournament.
