All Blacks XV v Georgia

[Machpants]

Things have really gone downhill with Georgian rugby, now multiple players with surnames not ending in dze or ili. Not just one or two. Sad days

[Mr Fish]

Georgia grab the first try but ABs XV have just scored one of their own via Kurt Eklund.

Not the most open game so far, 15 minutes in.

[Bones]

Fuck he's a shit ref, unbelievable sometimes. Georgian lying right over the top of the ruck and in from the side, gets a not releasing penalty.

[Mr Fish]

Georgia seem to be numbering up well on defence but they've struggled to bring players to ground at times.

The crowd is amazing. Georgia vs NZ XV in Montpellier in a large stadium and it’s a sellout. No way Georgia vs France A in nz sells out a stadium.

A sell-out is always great but not sure I'd say 16k is a large stadium?

Ok not huge but still a decent size

As you say, wouldn't get those numbers to the reverse fixture in NZ!

19-10 to the All Blacks XV after 35 minutes.

[sparky]

Tries to Eklund, McLeod and Christie so far.

[Bones]

Haven't been paying too much attention to the accuracy of Christie's passing, but outside of that he's playing bloody well.

[Bones]

Perfect timing, he goes hungus and fluffs a try.

[Mr Fish]

Scores one try then ruins another haha.

[sparky]

Jacomb also going well.

[Bones]

Fuck I wish we could get a chance to see how Stevenson goes in the main squad. Has the added bonus of the sweet combination with DMac too.

[sparky]

@Bones It will probably happen if Will Jordan has a long-term injury again.

Would be nice to see how we go with a fullback that can run as well as kick and pass.

Reckon ah Khoi has gone well. Georgia is a good choice to play because you have to win the forward battle.

[Mr Fish]

Has the stream cut out for anyone else or is my phone playing up?

He's certainly busy and vigorous. If the ABs are looking for a lock/6, he's looking a better bet than Scooter/Delaney/Finau/Vaai/etc.
