Half-Time Report: Namibia hold off Georgia to gain half-time lead

Namibia are beating Georgia 6-0 at half time in their Rugby World Cup match.

Namibia are beating Georgia 6-0 at half time in the Rugby World Cup.

Theuns Kotze kicked through the posts to give Namibia the lead after just two minutes when Georgia came in offside.

The fly-half then had a chance to double their lead after five minutes but a drop-goal missed the posts.

The Europeans hit back and thought they had scored a try when Alexander Todua touched down, but the TMO judged that Lasha Malaguradze had knocked the ball on in the build-up.

Georgia then attacked the Namibia try-line but a penalty was called and the African team were able to clear.

Kotze added three more points after 18 minutes from in front of the posts after the Georgians were penalised for a high tackle.

Again, Georgia attacked and came within two yards of scoring before David Philander bundled Davit Kacharava into touch.

Namibia held out under heavy pressure until half time, and Georgia's Jaba Bregvadze was sin-binned in the 36th minute.

Georgia continued to push for the try-line and Namibia went down to 13 men during the latter stages after Raoul Larson and Johan Coetzee were sinbinned.

The ball went over the line once again, but the TMO decided that there was a forward pass in the build-up and Namibia held on for the half-time lead.
