Namibia fall just short of first Rugby World Cup points

81'		From ESPN's Tristan Barclay in Exeter - For a 10-minute stretch of that second half, Namibia looked as though they might improbably make a comeback against a Tonga side that looked beyond reach. They had the Pacific Islanders on the ropes with some hard running in the loose, and I could see a few of Tonga's big men puffing hard at each break in play. But in the end, Tonga were just that bit more experienced and talented, sealing a bonus-point victory. I should say, the crowd here at Sandy Park have been excellent in Exeter's first ever World Cup match. They took both sides to their hearts and were rewarded with a great game of rugby. Full time. Namibia gave it everything in 2nd half but Tonga good value for the win. Stats here #TGAvNAM #RWC2015 pic.twitter.com/XV18OZa5am — Tristan Barclay (@tbarclayESPN) September 29, 2015
81'		35-21 End of second half
80'		It's not to be for Namibia - the ball is eventually knocked forward from the scrum and Jackson calls for full-time. Enthralling game at Sandy Park.
