@Billy-Tell They can't replace every player though. I think it's common sense. Players sweat a lot in high temperatures. Dehydration in itself is bad for your health, but it also increases the risk of other injuries (it affects your coordination, for example).
Don't be a dick, they should just get fitter.

This is a good contest so far.

Georgia's defence from set piece exposed again.

Yeah ok I accept your point.

Back to the rugby ...
... 12-7 Half time.Nice try Los Teros.
Had a chance to make it 12-10 but muffed the penalty.
Pretty even from what I've seen. Comms suggesting the Adzes and Ashvilis had the better of the half though.
Agree with whoever said the Georgies should just take them on in the forwards. Massive size difference.

Interesting that these 2 teams both have genuinely good home-grown, fully pro, 9s and 10s.
Each team has 2 x 9s and 1 x10 playing in Top 14.
Often teams at this level have a tier 1 first-five.
I remember when Georgia only had a pack, then a pack plus a 9, the quality gradually getting out to the high numbers.
Edit. Actually Arata doesn't appear to be a Top 14 pro, but is keeping Top 14 pro Ormachaea on the bench.

Don't really have to do all that much to get a red card these days do you?

That seems harsh to me. There is accidental contact to the head in every game, are they all red cards now?

FT: Georgia 33 - 7 Uruguay
Well-deserved win to Georgia, who were clearly the better team. But hats off to Uruguay, who tried until the final whistle, despite playing Fiji only 4 days ago.
Good game, looked pretty hot out there.

@Stargazer said in RWC: Georgia v Uruguay (Pool D):
@Kirwan Yeah, this one seemed harsh to me, too.
Yeah definitely. Looked to me like bad timing and the other player had definitely dropped. Certainly wasn't intentional, yellow would have been fair but he put himself in position for the red I guess.

Georgia v Fiji should be a cracker
