[spursindevon]

Namibia making a comeback

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

This scrum doesn't feel safe

 

[Jer1cho]

Namibia must avoid all scrums lol. Obliterated

 

[saulan]

Nice, the game clock retakes the lead.

Aaaaand, it's gone

 

[Jer1cho]

At least we see the big guns have fun and try things. We don't see it in a normal season.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

If stevens goes out this Namibia team goes from bad to essentially amateur

 

[IT157]

Nice, the game clock retakes the lead.

'Didn't last long

 

[Jer1cho]

Samisoni is the Marx of NZ.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Irish maul

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hope Luke Pearce gets the final, he's the best ref at the tournament

 

[IT157]

100% obstruction! The clock takes the lead back!

Not possible because England will be in the final....

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Agreed. But this prime battered Pom syndrome.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Oh no no no

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Eurrrgggh

It won't happen, but I'd rather there were more Englishmen involved than 1 or 2.


As for what's happening on the pitch, I missed it - and from the sounds of things, I'm grateful to have.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Agreed. But this prime battered Pom syndrome.

Battered potatoes are a midlands delicacy

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

I'm all for including the Tier 2 nations more but at what point does it become a genuine safety hazard? The Namibian bodies just are not used to these impacts and scrums.

 

[saulan]

Ugh that's terrible. Refs response to seeing it and immediately walking 10 meters away and not looking again says it all.
