Africa Gold Cup 2018, doubling up as qualification for 2019 Rugby World Cup, enters round five on Saturday August 4 with two matches on the card in East and Southern Africa. 

All six teams are eyeing a place in Japan 2019 but as it stands Morocco and Zimbabwe cannot make it -they only stand a slim chance of qualifying for the global repechage in France in November- a second and last chance for teams to qualify for the World Cup.

It's now a two-horse race between Kenya Simbas and Namibia Welwitschias with both teams having a clash in hand before their meeting on the last round of matches -August 18 in Windhoek. 

On August 4, Uganda can revive their chances by a win over visiting Tunisia in Kampala with a defeat likely to do a damage to them -relegation. Tunisia have one win on their bag and may them win their last two matches and Kenya lose, they would finish second and head to France.

Second match of the day kicking off at 5pm will be between Zimbabwe and Namibia, a clash Kenya will be keeping an eye on as a win for Zimbabwe would seriously raise their chances of heading to Japan as Africa 1.

A win for Namibia will mean Kenya Simbas will need maximum points in their last matches (including against Namibia) to finish on top. 

Kenya sits out this weekend awaiting Tunisia on August 11 before heading out to Namibia on August 11.
