Usually never root against my Latino brothers but would love to see Namibia get their first win ever.

Namibia tired or just sloppy? Certainly feels like momentum is fully behind the South Americans at this point in the game.

Well that'll be a red once we go through the charade of the bunker review.

Shame. 2 cards in quick succession should probably kill this game.

First one was a direct result of the ballcarrier's dip, but the second was just laughably lazy.

The dream's over folks.

This Uruguay rugby team squeaky clean. Exact opposite of their football team.

Attacking scrum against 13 means there has to be some space to exploit somewhere and so it proved.

No-one is going to have more Yellows and Reds than Namibia this RWC. Shameful tackling.

You do love seeing a big stadium packed to see two minnows square off. Love this tournament!

I think I’m right in saying there is a class aspect to Latin rugby which makes us seem like a bastion of egalitarianism

Namibia were starting to look like their goose was cooked even before the cards, some of them look downright shattered now.

How on earth do you manage to bend your knees and still be that upright? Dim from Uruguay 20.

Fine these minnow headhunters $10k per red card. That might focus these pro-am players minds a bit more.

Ought to focus some of the full pros in tier 1 nations too, a lot of them aren't earning amounts where 10k can just be burnt.

36-26 to the S Americans.
Namibia very dirty and threw away a lead and a good chance of a win.

Coetzee will surely get the sack tomorrow too.

He's one of the best kickers at the RWC, a Frans Steyn level kicker, even looks a bit like Frans.

Massive height on bombs, huge range, accurate from hand and at poles. Can land shots from 60 metres. Against the All Blacks he kicked one restart that was so deep and accurate that the Nam players bundled the catcher out and got a Nam lineout inside the All Blacks 22, probably the best restart I've ever seen.

Lions should definitely have him in their URC starting XV.

Ja he struggled with injuries last season. Always had that big boot. I wish Zimbabwe or Kenia can qualify for the WC.

Namibia ran out of steam. The Arata Try broke them (worse is it came from 2 Namibian turnover attempts).

a good game nonetheless.
