Emerging Ireland 45, Georgia 12 in Tbilisi (Tbilisi Cup)
Emerging Italy 23, Uruguay 13 in Tbilisi (Tbilisi Cup)
Briefly
The Emerging sides dominated the last day. Georgia’s performance, like that of Namibia’s in the parallel Nations Cup, was cause for some concern despite the fact that it was nowhere near their top squad.
