Georgja v Namibia

Clownshoes at his best - Georgia with several scrum penalties 5m out, surely one more away from a penalty try, but he bins Namibian prop and they have none left so uncontested scrums, denying Georgia their penalty try!

Georgia will be raging - they mess up the chance of a try and half time called.

50 minute half too, 68 minutes in real time!

The first half lasted nearly 50 minutes. Namibia lead 6-0

Pretty grim so far.

Sorry RDW. Can you delete my duplicate thread?

Hmm was funny. But not sure looked like penalty try should have been on the cards. Each penalty conceded didn't on its own look like it stopped a try as such?

To be fair, i'm not even sure Namibian TH was at fault at the last scrum.

Why not just award a pen try rather than bin another prop?

Clancy is the worst ref at the RWC.

Clancy is a complete feckin tool -always has been, always will be. The orangutan in the SSE advert could ref a rugby match better.

That orangutan has a lovely singing voice

When it comes to 5m scrums I don't think it really matters what the offense is for - if you keep giving away penalties, it is going to be a penalty try!

Clancy with no feel for the game at all - that first disallowed try for Georgia was a shocking decision.

Georgia pulling away - 3rd Namibian yellow.

For it to be a penalty try the Ref must believe a try would have been scored was it not for the penalty - the last of those Scrums was not going back - so no penalty try. If you are getting marched back and collapse then penalty try

Why is this game still going on?

Has their been a massive injury break?

Should have finished 20 minutes ago.

Fifty minute first half and lots of tmo

Try Namibia 

Could be a tight last five minutes..

Great convo. Very Dan Parks.

Oddest game I've watched for a long time. Where did this energy suddenly come from? They looked dead on their feet - all of them - five minutes ago!

79 on the clock. Therefore at least 10mins left.

Great effort Namibia!

Fun though Always enjoy the fixtures between the lower ranked sides, having their finals in the group stages.

That Namibian 8 is such a good player, amazing strength.

Possibly my favourite World Cup comment so far.

Argh I would have loved Namibia to have sneaked it at the death!

You are not the only one

How Georgian 7 didn't get a yellow card in the first half for his high tackle, i will never know.

Not bad for a side that must have spent well over 20 minutes with 14 men and a good few with 13. Pity they had to concede those, the picture might have been different on the scoreboard.

Aye, but a prop got binned for not scrummaging properly then it went uncontested, so effectively penalised Georgia too.
Award pen try, get on with it and get off.
