Drifted away for a bit, you seem miffed what particular areas did you think Namibia got away with things?

Julle het mos die grappie gehoor van Mike wat dokter toe gaan vir toetse…
Die nursie gee toe vir hom ‘n botteltjie sê toe vir Mike hy moet ‘n MONSTERTJIE piepie.
Mike was ontsteld gewees, en sê vir haar, “Kak jy vir my eers ‘n DRAKIE, dan piepie ek vir jou ‘n MONSTERTJIE!”
@ nortie:
How many did you pick New Zealand to win by?

Slowing the game down to a crawl, chopping and changing players every scrum, just in general they did whatever they could not to allow any pace in the game.
Kudus to them, they got away with it, but from a viewer point of view it was horrible to watch imo
@ Bullscot:
87, and I thought it might be too low
OK, het julle nie huise en vrouens om na toe te gaan nie?
Flok julle, ek boggeroff nou eers!
Sien julle weer!

Daar’s KWV in jou tikvinger… hehehe
@ nortie:
The people in the stadium seemed to appreciate their efforts. Thought I saw some obstructive running by New Zealand that went unpunished by ref. One of the scrum changes had to be made after the prop was carded and another to check on the guy for concussion, and then another change after it appears they found him ok, would far rather they erred on the side of caution for player welfare

Job done, the phony war continues.
Mismatches such as this one should not really take place. Nearly all that Namibia did was to try and keep the score down by employing negative tactics and to slow the game down. The referee also played along by not encouraging them enough to speed things up.
Timewasting by the slower less conditioned teams, the endless resetting of scrums and far too many referrals to TMO’s are killing rugby.
57 running meters vs 570m lol
@ robzim:
Hi robzim not sure if you don’t want the match to have been played at all or just wanted the ref to have blown different?
@ Bullscot:
Hi… I think rugby is not a big enough game globally to justify a world cup of 20 teams and I think only the top 16 teams should take part.
What is the use of allowing amateurs to compete against professionals? Unless they get some “protection” from the refs they will only be humiliated and/or injured. And that is not fair towards either of the teams and to the spectators who (should) pay to see a contest and not a mismatch.
In my view there should be a second tier world cup for teams ranked lower than number 16 in the world.
@ robzim:
Steve Hansen admitted his frustration at the stop-start nature of New Zealand’s win over Namibia at the Olympic Stadium on Thursday.
The All Blacks made it two from two with a comfortable 58-14 win over the tournament’s lowest-ranked team, but struggled for rhythm in the second-half with a number of stoppages holding up the game.
Hansen was frustrated as his side failed to really fire in the second-half, but admitted the stoppages were understandable, with eight part-time players in the Namibian squad, and fatigue and injuries inevitable.
And the New Zealand coach was quick to praise the Namibians for their efforts, revealing that the teams were planning to get together after the game for a couple of quiet drinks.
“(It was) frustrating. But we’ve got a good 80-minute hit into us,” said Hansen.
“Twenty-nine of the 30 players have played now, we’ve no injuries, and scored nine tries. We got through that and it’s a good learning curve going forward. We’re happy for Namibia. They will be happy with their night’s work.
“We’ve got to deal with (the stoppages) better than we did tonight. It is difficult every time you have a scrum. At one stage we had four minutes on one scrum and that’s not what the game wants.
“That’s what can happen when you get the opposition struggling to stay up or we are. They are working hard on trying to get that (TMO) right.
“If someone scores a try they need to do their due diligence but you would like them to speed things up if they can. The goodwill goes out the door a bit. You get a bit frustrated. The fans that is.
“When they got tired towards the end of the game it got quite messy but that’s what you expect when you have eight guys who are amateur players.
“Early doors I thought they committed themselves totally to the breakdown and the tackle and competed well in the lineout. To achieve what they have done by making the World Cup, half your team being amateurs and getting to an event like this is something special in itself.

Not just Hansen who was irritated by the stoppages. It’s not often I watch an All Black game and get bored
@ nortie:
Interesting, thanks for that.
I guess Wladimir Klitschko will also get frustrated if he is forced to box against Sonny Bill Williams but then gets stopped by the ref every time he wants to land a decent punch 🙂

Good analogy, you can also add SBW sitting down and tying his laces for 2 minutes every round, or looking for his mouth guard, or clinging onto his body etc
