    You don't stop him from that distance. Not without time to build a low brick wall.

    Argentina second row Matias Alemanno shoots his six foot six inch frame under the arms of some fringe tacklers and over the line from short range.

    A change of kicker and Juan Pablo Socino pops over two more points.

    Namibia have scored a second try and it is a very similar score to the first.

    Again, Argentina conspire in their own downfall. Juan Martin Hernandez pops the ball to Lucas Noguera Paz, but the prop is under immediate pressure from Johan Deysel who has rushed up.

    Ball to ground and JC Greyling reacts quickest, scooping up and scampering in under the sticks.

    Routine extras from Theuns Kotze.

    Better from Namibia as they show a little adventure.

    The impressive Johan Deysel slides an off-load around the back of an Argentina tackler, freeing his team-mates. 

    They are up into the Argentine half, before the Pumas snatch back possesion and Juan Martin Hernandez puts lace to leather and clears up toward halfway.

    Argentina are playing this as big teams should when meeting the little guys.

    They are not getting complacent and casual, running the ball from everywhere and underestimating the oppo.

    Instead they are earning the right to play - earning the hard yards and sucking in defenders with forward charges.

     But Lucas Noguera Paz is off his feet at the ruck and is penalised to allow Namibia off the hook inside their own 22m.

    The officials wear out the video tape, replaying the pre-try passage of play on a loop.

    But their analysis concludes that the ball was knocked out of Argentine hands by a Namibian and went back any way.

    Lucas Noguera Paz's pick-go-and-flop is allowed to stand and Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias sticks over the conversion

    Argentina plough over. Prop Lucas Noguera Paz has piledriven through the last few metres, but the ball went to ground just before. Did it go forward?

    Argentina 29-7 Namibia (Isa, missed con Iglesias)

    Facundo Isa is the man with his mitts on the ball as the Argentina pack rumble over from a rolling maul.

    Cue a bit of push and shove between the two sets of forwards as Argentina celebrate loudly in the faces of their Namibia counterparts.

    Nothing too serious. But there is a bit of niggle and needle out there.

    A bit of biff.

    Something has gone down in the deep depth of the front row and Namibia prop Jaco Engels takes exception. The referee calls together the two captains to tell their men to calm down.

    Good luck with that fellas.

    Argentina are held at bay with some fierce tackling and tag-team hits by Namibia. They are joining forces to absorb the beefy runs from the Argentines around the fringes.

    If you can afford too many men being dragged in, it is a canny tactic.

  15. Argentina 24-7 Namibiapublished at 32 mins

    That is a precise box-kick bomb from Namibia scrum-half Damian Stevens, right on the button for Johan Tromp. The winger spills forward though as he goes up to challenge in the air.

    It wouldn't have mattered though. Play is called back for an Argentina penalty for a neck-roll clear-out by Johan Deysel.

    Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino claims the mark in his own 22m, taps and goes, goes, goes.

    Weaving in and out of defenders, sniffing out space and breaking cover as he bursts clear into the Namibia half.

    It is only a tremendous recovery tackle from inside centre Johan Deysel that prevents one of the great World Cup tries.

    The referee decides that Namibia full-back Chrysander Botha was trying to tackle decoy runner Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias, rather than being blocked off by the Argentine.

    Agulla's try is allowed to stand and Iglesias adds two more.

    Argentina are well over the horizon now.

    Horacio Agulla scampers in at the corner. But was there an obstruction that checked the cover and opened up the space for the Bath winger?

    Matias Moroni fends off a trio of red shirts in midfield, wriggling clear and then pressing the pedal to accelerate away.

    That is the last that the Namibia defence see of him as he zooms in under the sticks.

    Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias clips over the extras.
