12 mins: Georgia punt the ball long into the Namibian half and make touch before number four Levan Datunashvili catches the ball unopposed at the back of the line-out and races for the line. But Georgia infringe during the pile-up for the line and Namibia breathe a touch easier. Best chance yet. 10 mins: Georgia shoot themselves in the foot when they squander good field position by giving away a penalty. Another one in quick succession allows Namibia to edge into their half but the Africans give away the ball when they try a little grubber kick through. 9 mins: Very smart, the Namibian kit. Better than the Scotland, England or New Zealand change-strip bobbins. 5 mins: PENALTY Georgia 3-0 Namibia
Biff, baff, boff. There's the first bit of dog on show tonight as the mongrel Georgian pack take offence at one of the nice Namibian gentlemen. It's all over in a flash and Georgia pile forward through Irakli Giorgadze in the centre channel before winning a penalty in Namibia's half. Merab Kvirikashvili steps up and slots it through the deluge. 3 mins: From the ensuing line-out, Namibia lose the ball and Georgia clear their lines effectively. 2 mins: Namibia win an early penalty as the Georgian number eight drags down a maul. Fly-half Tertius Losper punts the ball into the right corner. 1 mins: Georgia kick off to the blue-and-white clad Namibians and both packs thunder into each other. 1655: The Stade Felix-Bollaert in Lens isn't quite packed to the rafters but it's not a bad turnout nonetheless. It's drizzling a bit and the word is that Namibia haven't played in the rain for 35 years. 1646: Afternoon all and welcome to online text commentary from the Georgia v Namibia clash in Lens. Neither side can qualify for the quarter-finals but there will be plenty of pride at stake from two of the tournament's more physical sides. Expect plenty of grunt, graft and gurning. And that's just from Georgia.
