Got up at 0500 to watch this & discovered it had already been played do went back to bed & have just watched the hour-long highlights. Kicking myself for not getting up at the proper time, this was a great game. Means nothing in the context of Pool C or the Cup in general but a great game nonetheless.

Well worth a squizz if you've got three or four spare minutes.

Good effort by Namibia. They've been a lot more competitive than I thought they'd be before the tournament. I think they'd beat Uruguay.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the replay of this game. Well done to both sides. Tonga were the better side and deserved to win, but the Namibians certainly kept coming till the final whistle. Games like this remind us of what RWC is about.

Tonga Stronger Longer

Gotta be the headline of the Tournament so far. Well done @Xavier for your Blog article and title.

Shame the Namibs didn't grab the bonus point at the end there. Big unit should have called to someone else for a trick move right there.
