[QUOTE="Croket66, post: 1009549, member: 58839"] So Georgia did not showed anything in this game Not surprised to be honest, as they did not even named a headcoach since Haig left the team after RWC. Again, Georgia showed they are not able to defend a maul for years no. Also they won their last 49 own scrum before RWC and lost a least a scrum every game since. Their tactics for most of the game was just about tackle, tackle, and when you got the ball, kick it and tackle again and never play with backs. That's a shame as some fo them are quality players while their forwards pack is a bit overrated, only the front row and number 8 in this game played for top flight clubs Also the pair of locks was way too light for international rugby. I mean, you can't really hope something with a young bloke that's just ended to play in the BUCS championship and a light guu, former flyhalf converted in nr8, that only played a pair of games in US MLR as his career highlight - 2 caps each. Fortunately, Kote Mikautadze, a solid experienced lock with 64 caps, +90 Top14 games and +25 Champions Cup games and Nodar Cheishvili, 26 caps and 2 seasons in English second division are back for the next game. Also note that the pack was surprisingly much lighter than English one (on avg Englishman forward : 117.3kg / georgian forward 104.1kg) And the georgian team was on average younger than the english one, 25 years old on average [/QUOTE]
