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

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

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

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

No substitute for pace

Morrison off for an HIA.

Lakia with an individual effort....

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

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.
