[EOYT] Georgia vs. Samoa 23/11/13

[LittleGuy]

Georgia vs. Samoa 23/11/13 16:30 GET, Mikheil Meskhi Stadium, Tblissi, Georgia.

Referee: Romain Poite

A potentially mouth watering encounter for those who love a physical brand of rugby as Georgia host Samoa in what may be a historic oppourtunity for the Lelos. Both sides have had their ups and downs this year, with most recently Georgia enduring a heartbreaking defeat at home to the United States, while Samoa were much better against the French Baa Baas than they were against Ireland.

Lineups...well you know

Id write lineups but I've noticed Crocket does that a lot better so I'l give him the honors As for the game I think the Samoa game will be our best game this year since we've never had 3 week period to prepare for the game before.

You're welcome ahah

 

[amz]

Georgian team is very young especially upfront.

 

[Big Ewis]

k, somebody watching this ?

 

[Croket66]

Yes

http://1tv.ge/live

minute 6 - Georgia 3-0 Samoa

 

[Toko_11]

so far so good...

ok when they say use the side line as a player that's usually in defense lol stop throwing the ball out !

 

[Aspry]

I certainly wouldn't like to get in a fight with any of those sides

 

[Toko_11]

Good thing they forgot to field a kicker...


goddamit

 

[Big Ewis]

so typical of Samoa. They make the try, and then miss the conversion.
Well...Georgia does have the forward advantage, Samoa the back one clearly.

 

[Croket66]

Try Samoa Alapati Leiua

Georgia 3 - 5 Samoa
min 13

High tackle by Gorgodze, yellow card

 

[Croket66]

What a tackle!

Edit : Georgia 6-5 Samoa

 

[Big Ewis]

man, GEO srs has zero attack. It's bad. But they're matching and even surpassing SAM with the effort, that monster tackle there. There's some srs potential for that nation just watching 20min...
Go Georgia !

 

[Toko_11]

hm we scored while Gorgodze was sin-bined ? nice


Horrific defense there.. absolutely awful -_-

 

[Croket66]

Try Samoa : Jack Lam
Georgia 6-12 Samoa

 

[Big Ewis]

yeah GEO can't win with that kind of defense, and they don't seem like they have any sort of ability on attack, if not get OK position and drop.

haha im happy if we don't knock the ball on every time we pass it to the bakcs


Come onnn he's gonna miss from there -_- how do you say terrible decision in French ?

 

[Big Ewis]

haha im happy if we don't knock the ball on every time we pass it to the bakcs

hah. Well I mean handling and passing are just a problem throughout Europe...well I haven't seen a team that isn't NZ or AUS this year that hasn't consistently looked like they were in impending danger after the 7th/8th pass. Just bound to drop it or see a pass bounce loose or smt........ffs.

EDIT: forgot, Samoa and Tonga have had some nice stretches.

 

[Croket66]

Half time
Georgia 6 - 12 Samoa

Decent crowd, approx 22K or 23K

 

[Toko_11]

Yeeees!!
