Namibian coach Allister Coetzee is no stranger to All Blacks rugby, having coached the Springboks, but it is a less experienced side he will have when they meet in Toulouse in their Rugby World Cup pool game on Saturday (NZT). Coetzee said they knew what they were getting into when they were drawn in the same pool as the All Blacks, the third consecutive tournament for them. New Zealand won 58-14 in 2015 and 71-9 in 2019. The lasting memory of their 2019 game was the stunning late try scored in the corner by All Blacks halfback TJ Perenara when he was playing first five-eighths. It was selected as World Rugby's try of the year.
