    Right, time to can this live text.

    But there is another just firing up in the wings.

    Jonathan Jurejko is bringing you the action from Romania v Italy and he has started with some Benny, Bjorn, Anni-Frid and Agnetha.

    Lovely stuff.

    Plenty of the tournament contenders have made heavy weather of negotiating the underdogs.

    Argentina made it look very easy. They also led the All Blacks at half-time in their Pool C meeting.

    The winner of Ireland and France's Pool D decider later today will not have a free ride into the last four. By a long, long way.

    The final minute and Argentina are still trying to run it from deep.

    This time it backfires as Tjiuee Uauivi strips the ball and offloads to Eugene Jantjies who swallow-dives over unopposed.

    And for the conversion retiring prop Johnny Redelinghuys is given the honours.

    His ugly attempt dribbles short, but his wide grin makes up for it.

    A frankly ridiculous yellow card.

    Tinus du Plessis goes up to challenge for an aerial ball with Marcelo Bosch. Eyes locked on the ball, arms out to claim it, he tangles with the Argentine who comes down flat on his back.

    The referee decides that Du Plessis was "not in a realistic position to catch the ball". I'm not sure how else you are supposed to go about it.

    He brandishes yellow because it appears that honest accidental collisions are impossible.

    That's the same punishment Marcelo Bosch got for a near-on spear tackle.

    No wonder the Tier Two nations feel hard done by.

    Tomas Cubelli darts over as the Namibia fringe defence offers him a chink of an opening.

    The scoreboard is ticking north at an alarming rate.

  10. Argentina 57-14 Namibiapublished at 70 mins

    This is end-of-season exhibition stuff. Passes flipped off the floor, out the side-door and off the fingertips by the Argentines as they break open the champagne.

    They are up to within five.

    Argentina warming to their task, Namibia tiring of theirs.

    The red shirts melt away in defence and hooker Julian Montoya is able to add his name to the rapidly expanding scoresheet.

    Straight from the kick-off and Argentina, wind in their sails, run it. Trying to stop this is like trying to pin down mercury.

    Juan Imhoff is in under the posts, but the play is called back for a forward pass.

    Shame.

    Namibia's defence is cut to ribbons with Horacio Agulla and Lucas Gonzalez Ambrosino slippery as a pair of eels.

    Leonardo Senatore is the man - fresh off the bench - with the lungs to support and score.

    Darting feet from Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, flips the pass to Juan Pablo Socino, he has scoring options either way.

    But he can't pick either and Namibia pounce on the loose ball.

    Namibia are building a bit of pressure. Argentina are camped back on their own line.

    But a turnover! And the Pumas run from deep, they are up to halfway. Namibia scrambling...

    Namibia full-back Chrysander Botha is replaced by Russell van Wyk.

    Botha has had a good game.

    Oh, and a change in the back row.

    Leneve Damens is off and Tinus du Plessis is on. Du Plessis has his head stapled back together after the match against Georgia. Tough fella.

    Namibia are running eagerly at their depleted opponents.

    Chrysander Botha slings a long pass wide, second row Tjiuee Uanivi flips with his fingertips, but Johan Tromp is pulled back as that final pass drifted forward.

    Marcelo Bosch is a lucky, lucky fella.

    The Argentina man - just off the bench - has escaped a red despite tackling a Namibia player late, lifting his legs beyond the horizontal and dumping him torso-first into the turf.

    The referee decides that the Namibian did not come down on his head, it is just a yellow.

    I'm not sure Bosch was taking any care to make sure that was the case.

    So close! Namibia winger Johan Tromp swerves inside off his wing, stretches every sinew, but comes up just short as Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias' tackle comes in.

    A switch for Argentina as Juan Martin Hernandez departs. There have not been too many glimpses of his conjuror touch today.

    On comes the more workmanlike Marcelo Bosch of Saracens.
