Skills, strength, jubilation and heartbreak

Tonga v Namibia

In front of a capacity crowd at Exeter’s Sandy Park, it was clear that neither side wanted a narrow, forward-orientated game, and the outcome was a thrilling clash, which Tonga eventually claimed, running out 35-21 winners. A first ever World Cup win still eludes Namibia, but they scored three tries in a match at the tournament for the first time and will take plenty of positives from the game.

Two tries from full-back Mike Brown and the impact from the bench saw Stuart Lancaster’s men home despite a disjointed display. Full set of images from the match
