@Stargazer said in RWC warmup - Scotland v Georgia:

Referee: Mathieu Raynal (FFR)

Don't waste any fucking time.

First blood to Georgia

Sco 0-3 Geo
12 mins

Scotland playing too much rugby in the backs

Not committing anyone

Georgia playing the right match

Just need to be more accurate

Georgia on top

Far more direct and better use of the ball

Sco 0-6 Geo
20 mins

Georgia got Scotland rattled

Georgia leading Scotland after 25 minutes.

Terrible decision from the Frog

He was definitely back foot

Fantastic discipline and defence from Georgia

Scotland as blunt as a spoon

Scotland’s nine only passes to the first five or the player at the front of the arrow. If you get the right sort of line speed as Georgia are doing, you can put them under serious pressure.

Basic skills from Georgia far better and more accurate than Scotland

Canny even

Scotland look like they are holding a bit back in the forwards.

Unlucky

Too heavy in the leg

Georgia has VDM’s number

Which RWC pool are Georgia going to be in?

Scotland with an attacking line out opportunity.

Scotland really not respecting Georgia

Did he get that down?

Ref gives it but it looked out to me with the naked eye.

Going to the TMO. Looks like he loses it.

Fuck Scotland making hard, hard work of this

No try.

Clear separation between ball and hand.

As I said, should have taken the 3

Scottish attack looks pretty and dynamic but easy to defend against

Scotland frustrating to watch. They do the odd nice thing but mix it up with sloppy play and crabbing.

Georgia thoroughly deserve this lead

Georgian hooker limps off on his 100th cap.

Great patience from the Georgians

A few seasons back they would have infringed and be carded by now

They have belief and composure now

On today’s evidence, some of the so-called minnows are minnows no more.

Wales and Australia must be nervous about both Georgia and Fiji.

But we know and respect their threat and won’t take them lightly

Half time. Scotland 0 Georgia 6.

Great first half from Georgia

Great discipline and patience

Smart rugby letting the ball do the work

Fucking hell Scotland

Do the basics and this match is over

Way too fancy
