NEW ZEALAND 43, GEORGIA 10: Rugby World Cup Pool C

Review
I am seeing some strange things happening in this Rugby World Cup finals. Yesterday I saw Fiji push Wales off their scrum a number of times and today I saw Georgia decimate the All Black scrum on at least two occasions. Throw in Japan’s upset win over South Africa and the fact that the so called minnows have not been outclassed by the highly paid professional elite tier 1 group. The state of world rugby is in a healthy space.

Frankly, if New Zealand play in the quarter finals like they did today they will be out faster than a pigeon from a loft. They were awful.They were as loose as, the fumbled and bumbled through movements. Only moments of brilliance and two late tries brought a degree of respectability to the score line. This was supposed to be Georgia’s second string line up. Hmmm.

It may have been Georgia’s second team line up but they played like wounded tigers. They upset the All Black rhythm, were quick up on defence, never allowed the AB’s to settle at any stage and their scrum. Wow! What a lesson given!. It was a heroic effort. It was the sort of heartening performance that means the Rugby World Cup is an inspiration for aspiring rugby nations.

Where to now?
New Zealand’s last pool game is against Tonga. This is the last chance for the world’s no.1 team to finally click. I expect they’ll not play their top side. Who knows how they will go in the quarter finals? Kiwi supporters are beginning to bite their nails.

Georgia has a win at all costs game against Namibia on the 7th October. A win will give them third place in the pool and automatic qualification to the 2019 Rugby World Cup finals.

Preview
New Zealand has paid Georgia the greatest of honours by selecting what looks like their strongest combination. In this first encounter between these two side I’d expect the All Blacks to dominate all aspects of play and to win by a wide margin.

Georgia however have virtually picked and second string side against the world champions. They have the fixture against Namibia in mind. A win there will give them third place in this pool and a guaranteed place at the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Georgia will be no pushover at scrum time. They will also use the rolling maul to great effect. Where the points will come against them is in back play where New Zealand will be too fast and too skilful.

Reviews
New Zealand eased passed Namibia in their second game of the tournament, Namibia’s first. The second half was a dis jointed display by the world number one team. Namibia on the other hand played to their ability and performed better as the game progressed. They were never going to win but continued a series of good performances by the minnows at this tournament. World rugby is in good health.

Argentina were too strong and fast for a disappointing Georgian side in Gloucester. The sinbinning of captain Gorgodze knocked the stuffing out of Georgia and they had no answer to the slick and pacey Argentinians.

Ireland and France predictably won their first games in the tournament.
