The Namibians provided an early shock after five minutes with scrumhalf Damian Stevens finishing off a sweeping movement after Italy hooker Luca Bigi had overthrown a lineout.

The Italians then produced several line breaks but were only able to convert twice, with flyhalf Tommaso Allan smashing over after a superb run by inside centre Luca Morisi. Despite torrential rain, the Italians put the game beyond doubt when Edoardo Padovani and Carlo Canna both crossed to give them a 35-7 lead and seemingly poised to open the floodgates.
