Yeah. I've tried pronouncing it.

Wife looks at me funny.

These fucking anthems are ridiculous. Making a mockery.

[MiketheSnow]

Namibia has a beautiful anthem

Followed by Italy when the acid drops

[Bones]

Fucking ITV commentators are dreadful eh. This woman thinks that any time you kick, you're trying to kick for touch, so is going on about how the Kickers can't find the painted line.

[MiketheSnow]

Pre-match panel on ITV looks like a new quiz show

Warburton’s just won a speedboat

[Nevorian]

Namibians have already shown Jordan how to contest the high ball

[MiketheSnow]

That’s game over

[Billy Tell]

Seems like no replays in this RWC

Or not!

[KiwiMurph]

Not a lot of stoppages for tmo intervention which is pleasing

[Billy Tell]

Namimbia 10 looks decent.

[nostrildamus]

Currently 17-8 Namibia

[Billy Tell]

Namibia forwards showing the ABs how to be direct. Scrum aside, this game is so far quite close.

[ACT Crusader]

Italian tacklers are pretty good at getting to their feet quickly to contest for the ball.

Pretty good first half
