VIDEO: Georgia and Namibia play never-ending half of rugby, fans amused and horrified

Georgia and Namibia may not have had much to play for Wednesday night in their World Cup encounter but, by god, both sides were excited to be in action.

So much so that they hardly wanted to come off the field for half time. The game was a very stop-start affair in Exeter as Namibia took a 6-0 lead into the dressing rooms long after the supposed 40 minute half was due to end with the second half sparking to life as Georgia won 17-16. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch--o6oIjyg But all the talk after the game was about the very long first half. https://twitter.com/Rugbyworldmag/status/651851408879296512 But because of some serious ill-discipline by the African side they ended the first half with 13 men, and the half itself didn't end until 49 in-game minutes had elapsed https://twitter.com/rugbyworldcup/status/651853315152703489 Some rugby fans were clearly getting frustrated https://twitter.com/tbilisidon/status/651852007280652292 Some really could not believe how long the first half took to end https://twitter.com/JessKebbell/status/651850468835098625 While some made very valid points  https://twitter.com/GutoLlewelyn/status/651852219088769024 Others remarked about video replays slowing down the match https://twitter.com/brucemillington/status/651851481059094528 Some fans saw their life slipping from in front of their eyes https://twitter.com/WelshDalaiLama/status/651854755166355456 And some people were just downright confused https://twitter.com/WillDowningComm/status/651851963953467392 And of course the referee George Clancy had to be also at fault https://twitter.com/NeaffBird/status/651860205886701570 https://twitter.com/tdeadville/status/651858955958927360
