Madagascar 57, Namibia 54 in Antananarivo
Senegal 26, Morocco 25 in Antananarivo
Briefly
Well, two amazing results from, what I believe, were two amazing rugby test matches. Madagascar won in extra time after scored were level at 43-43 full time. I can’t imagine the wild crowd scenes after this game. I’m hoping nobody was injured as they were last Wednesday on day 1.
We’ll follow the developments as heard by forum members..
Senegal 26, Morocco 25

‘No one wants to come 4th as that will be RWC2015 over for them. This could be a desperate battle!’-‘Yamaha Kiwi’
‘Morocco lead 17 to 9 at half-time. It's a shame that one team has to be relegated: both Morocco and Senegal were minutes away from winning their respective openers.’ – ‘Natal’
‘Morocco 20-9 Senegal at the start of the second half. Looking grave for Senegal - to think that they were leading Namibia with minutes left.
Morocco 20-12 Senegal - 55 minutes.
Morocco 20-19 Senegal - 58 minutes (-ish).
Morocco 20-26 Senegal - Morocco collapsing in the second half as they did against Madagascar.
15 minutes remain.’ – ‘Natal’
‘Morocco score a late try, but miss the conversion. Final result:
Morocco 25-26 Senegal

I could have written a hundred lines of review but there is nothing like a live ‘commentary’ from somebody updating twitter.
Special thanks to ‘Natal’, and others, on this great forum…http://www.fira-aer-rugby.com/forum2007/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3660&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=450
