Kenya and Namibia continued their unbeaten run in the Rugby Africa Gold Cup, while Uganda trashed Tunisia in a rather one-side encounter.

In Nairobi, Kenya continued their good form under new coach Jerome Paarwater when they beat Senegal 45-25 at the RFUEA Ground on Saturday afternoon.

It was a second successive win for Kenya following their 100-10 win over Tunisia the week before. Kenya drew 33-33 with Uganda in their first match of the tournament.

Darwin Mukidza scored two tries for the Simbas against a spirited Senegal side, who played a lot better after their 95-0 to Namibia last weekend.

In Windhoek, Namibia produced a stunnig second-half comeback to beat a spirited Zimbabwe side at the Hage Geinkop Stadium.

Zimbabwe led 20-7 at halftime and seemed to be on course for one of the biggest upsets in the competition. However, the home side came out firing in the second half to keep their 100% record in tact. They remain the favourites to qualify for the 2019 Rugby World Cup alongside the Springboks.

In Kampala, surprise package Uganda smashed Tunisia 78-17 at the Legends Rugby Grounds in Lugogo.

Philip Wokorach scored a hat trick of tries to help Uganda maintain their. The Cranes next host Namibia, and a win over the Southern Africans could World Cup qualifiers wide open.
