Namibia won't stop chasing elusive win
They are standing at 17 games played and 17 defeats – following their 21-35 loss to the hard-running Tongans at Sandy Park, in Exeter, on Tuesday.
Namibia coach Phil Davies said he was "very proud" of his team, despite the defeat.
"We tried to move the ball and our line-out drive was quite successful," he said, captain Jacques Burger scoring two from driving line-outs.
"The players put a huge effort in against a pretty big and physical Tongan side.
"They were very dominant at scrum time and very hard to stop when they were carrying the ball.
"It's a performance we can be happy with in certain areas, but not in other areas [such as] discipline and some aspects of our defence.
"We can't fault the efforts and commitment of the players, Tonga were just too good for us today basically."
Davies said Namibia would now try to snap their World Cup losing streak of 17 matches against Georgia next Wednesday.
"We're just keep moving forward, we're developing, the boys are putting a huge, huge effort in," the former Llanelli and Wales forward said.
"We'll continue to go, we've got two games left, we're quite proud of the two performances to date and we'll just keep working until we get that elusive game that we're after.
"We're on a bit of a journey and we're just going to continue.
Burger, the hard-hitting Saracens flank, said his largely amateur teammates had lacked consistency in the scrums.
"It's another opportunity lost to get our first win," he said.
"We're still talking 'win', we want to win our first match and we're on to the next one and try to win that, look at Georgia in a week's time.
"It's great to get those tries but I'd swap them for a win.
"We need to start talking win. We want to win a match. All we aim for is… winning a match."
