Rooting for Namibia to get their first ever win at a World Cup!

 

[BPM]

I'm rooting for Uruguay. They had a good 2019 RWC and even if they don't have a win to their name (yet), they've done pretty well in a very tough group.

 

[OllyM97]

Would love Namibia to win but I think Uruguay will do it and do it well. I've been really impressed with them at this RWC. Uruguay by 12-15.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Namibian player Johan Retief has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament after being bitten by a spider in his hotel. Yes, really.

 

[Al Bangor]

I think Uruguay will win, although I would like to see a Namibian victory.

 

[Brigantine]

Based on rankings, this is 74% Uruguay's to lose. I'd say it's probably even less close. Namibia will be doing well to get a LBP.

Namibia have gotten 6 table points in RWC history, 3 of them for just turning up to games in 1999, and another 2 were for having a game get cancelled by a typhoon in 2019 (2½ weeks after Uruguay beat Fiji at the same venue)

I hope this match is used as grounds for reviewing if Africa merits 2x auto qualifiers spots, or should be reduced to 1 like Asia (with the spot instead becoming Africa 2 vs Americas 4, loser going to repechage).

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Great . . . Another round for us to lose to another South American team before going to the repechage

 

[IT157]

What a start Namibia!

 

[IT157]

What a hit!

 

[IT157]

Another try by Namibia!

Looks forward....

Looks like I might be the only one watching this game....

Naa im here haha.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Wow, this is not what I expected at all. Thought Uruguay would win this relatively comfortably based on performances so far.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

I absolutely love the way Uruguay play their rugby. Just such a joy to watch even if it isn't getting them the result right now.

 

[Scotty]

Wow, this is not what I expected at all. Thought Uruguay would win this relatively comfortably based on performances so far.

I think they will, just had a error filled first 20, looking dangerous when it goes right, and they score as i type this.

 

[IT157]

Uruguay has been bad at conversions this tournament.

 

[Duct Tape]

Uruguay has been bad at conversions this tournament.

Maybe Springbok kickers available?
