booboo

Fuck guys.

It is really much better if you land kicks in the field of play.

MiketheSnow

Georgia settling in to this

booboo

This could hit a hundy.

kiwiinmelb

A point a minute , we might be looking at 80-0

MiketheSnow

Fabulous pace on the pass

Adams too fast

Wales 22 - 0 Georgia
20 mins gone

Rapido

Georgia having a shocker so far. 3 kicks out on full so far.

booboo

And stop the farking screaming in the crowd. Faaark

mariner4life

Rasputin alive and well and playing hooker for Georgia

MiketheSnow

Well played Georgia

G Davies should be off

MiketheSnow

Would have been forward too

MiketheSnow

Very lucky

African Monkey

Georgian forwards very slow around the park (as expected). Wales having a field day off the set piece.

MajorStokes

Wales very impressive so far.

Not sure what just happened, as don't have comms, but what was the ruling to keep the Welsh number 9 on the pitch?

African Monkey

@MajorRage Ref deemed that the ball went backwards.

Not a knock on by G Davies, so all good

MiketheSnow

Georgia deserve something from this

MiketheSnow

Patience Georgia, patience

It's a good period of play for them, but you just know that Wales will turn it and score at the other end.

MiketheSnow

That was out fffs

MiketheSnow

Wales look far more accurate compared with the pre-WC matches

MiketheSnow

Spoke too soon

antipodean

Georgians getting the raw end of the 50:50 decisions by this clown of a ref.

Lucky the touchie isn't blind. Wales will win easy so enforce the laws ffs.

Wtf are you talking about?

Scrumhalf's "failed intercepts". Ruck turnovers where the player doesn't support their own weight, has another go at the ball. Tighthead prop getting done, etc.

All shit that happens in the course of a game but has vastly magnified negative effects on tier 18 teams.

KiwiMurph

Wallabies had a much better challenge against Fiji. Wales are barely out of 2nd gear here.

African Monkey

Hadleigh Parkes is perfect foil for this Welsh side. He was only ever seen as a journeyman down here but he's always been effective on the crash which is what you want from your modern day 12. Josh Navidi also leading the way on defence.

Letter of the law correctly officiated by the ref on the first one.

If you don't think that was a genuine attempt for the intercept on the second one, then

a) you need to take your Minnow Suit off
b) you haven't watched G Davies play. He does it every match. Normally catching it.

Breakdown has been well contested by both sides. Ref has been on it. Wales been penalised once if not twice.

And early on the Georgian scrum was getting stuffed and deservedly penalised.

booboo

Half time = bed time.

Georgia getting smashed

Except when carving the Georgian defence open from first phase ball.

Yeah, no way Ball should have won that penalty despite what the comms said. I thought WR was getting strict with players putting their hands on the ground in front of the ball before attempting to grab the ball. That directive has obviously been ignored in this game and others at the RWC so far.

Wales are looking slick when they move the ball at speed.

Victor Meldrew

Watching the half-time TV analysis.

can someone send Warburton for elocution lessons? He doesn't sound Welsh at all - unlike that Anscombe bloke who's on with him
