Very disappointed to see a couple of ....uri etc in there. Can't be Georgian if their name doesn't end in ili or dze

[Stargazer]

Awesome speed from Tangitau! Kemara's kick is good.

7 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Well-worked team try to Will Stodart. Very good.

14 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Geez, another great try to Tangitau. Started with Kemara, who can't convert.

19 - 0 NZ

[MiketheSnow]

No substitute for pace

[Stargazer]

Morrison off for an HIA.

[Victor Meldrew]

Lakia with an individual effort....

[Stargazer]

Good line-out, ball to Flanders, who passes to Lakai, who finds a hole in the Georgian defence. Great break, awesome individual try.

24 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

The conversion is good.

26 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Now Hotham in. Lovely team try. Great to see the team play well in their last game.

33 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try to Georgia's fullback.

33 - 7 NZ

[Victor Meldrew]

Liking this ref.

[Stargazer]

Oh oh.

[Stargazer]

It wasn't even a tackle. The Georgian ballrunner just ran into him.

Yellow card Ake, going up for review because of head contact.

[Stargazer]

And of course the Georgians score off the maul with a man more.

Half time: NZ 33 - 14 Georgia

[Stargazer]

The Georgians had 62% possession and 71% territory in that first half.
