They really weren't that good against Scotland. They spoke about how Georgia were 6 nil up at HT. But Scotlabd played for 10min and blew them away.

Would expect Aus to end up with around 50.

Wales and Fiji don't have much to fear against them IMO.

An honest Australian???

I would've expected to see at least one honest politician or lawyer before experiencing an honest Aussie.


What a strange time we're living in.

He should be done for the game. Sore head knock that.

This has been disappointingly dismal by Georgia
- can't scrum
- can't catch
- kick the ball away aimlessly when they do get possession

And they want to be ahead of Ita in the 6N? No chance on this evidence.

Further highlights how weak C and D are.

Even of he passes a HIA there's zero benefit rolling him back out.

Georgia look decent with ball in hand out wide, but pretty poor everywhere else.

Georgia's kicking game is either crapply executed or crapply planed. Either way it's crap.

They get counter ball on the right wing and the winger kicks it away half an hour before he meets a defender :crazy:

They picked a bad time to base their game on the All Blacks.

I do like the new reffing, making early decisions and sticking with them with no instant TV replays.

I just thought that WR might have told us all that’s what they were doing before the tournament started, it’s a really odd way to do things

Georgian right wing should be forced to do circuits until the silly c**t learns to carry the ball 2 handed. How many times has he spilled it tonight? :crazy:

Aussie winger should have been carded(possibly red) for sliding in knees first on the Georgian player after he scored the try.

Off subject, but wouldn't adding any extra team be mostly about adding financially? There's other European countries which would be a better fit.

Wasn't impressive from the Wallabies, conceded 15 points, and there was another Georgia try stopped on the line because the Georgian lost the ball in the tackle/too upright.

IMHO, the calendar is already crowded enough and we've seen many times what the "more isn't more" approach led to in terms of reduction in quality, interest and financial sustainability: Soup, TRC, HEC.

The thing with the Curry red is that the attacker is also moving out of control into the tacklers. It's highly dynamic partly because he is in the air.
