7-0

Go Namibia! (Basically our cousins once removed)

@Duluth has it only just started?

@taniwharugby 8mins in

Great crowd for the game, the locals are embracing the WC big time

@Duluth cheers, for some reason I thought it started at 4.45.

@nzzp It's great isn't it? Even games like this are a good watch.

Italians strike back. Pealty try from the 5m scrum

It's awesome. 2011 was just a festival here - all the games mean something, and you can't help but get into it. Minnow v Minnow are often the most enjoyable for neutrals

Great stadium (for a secondary stadium), great crowd, great weather.

Feels like this will be a great RWC.

Wow, massive hungus from Allen and Italy miss out on a try.

Namibia look about heartland standard. Their defence is porous. Italy are Italy.

Italy should be up by 3 tries by now

NZ will put 80 to 100 points past Namibia. I read they have about 1000 players total.

Namibia remind me of me! Stuffed after 20 minutes and hanging out for the halftime oranges.
