Wales v Georgia Rugby Union

November at its busiest, autumn at

its most familiar.

What a tackle

that is.

Comes away with it.

Everybody went with the dummy ball.

Now for the brand-new, the totally

unfamiliar. They are called the tier

two countries buzz they make wells

their target. And they love playing

in Cardiff.

Another win in Cardiff.

It has become a Welsh trend, a

wobble in the autumn, hit a jarring

note.

Nervous November.

It's all going horribly wrong for

Wales. In the autumn series.

Can Georgia now upset Wales? They

have a grand plan to play in the big

time, full-time. For Georgia, this

is the chance of a rugby lifetime.

And we expect a crowd of over 50,000

fans for the first ever meet offing

Wales and Georgia attest level.

Georgia arrived confident after a

big win against Canada last weekend,

the coach has resisted making any

change, what will be be a big

opportunity to show the rugby world

their ambition to play in the six

nations is warranted.

Warren Gatland has done the

opposite. He has made 15 changes to

Wales, a lot was made of Wales'

attacking style, and the man to

orchestrate that is Rhys Priestland.

He last started for Wales in 2015.

Today's match will kick off a very

busy one for international rugby,

for all the home nation, we will

have highlighted of England

Australia later but you don't want

to miss out on our coverage of

Scotland New Zealand, that is on BBC

Two. Alongside me our three former

British and Irish Lions and Wales

legends. Jeremy Guscott is in the

middle of a Williams sandwich.

Before get stuck into this, let us

have a word on the decision this

week to award the 20023 Rugby World

Cup to France. A bit of controversy

in the journey to get there, Wales

and Scotland didn't back Ireland's

bid, what do you make of it?

I had a

lot of stick on what's up from my

Irish mate, we expected it to be

going of to Ireland with the

preparation, France, they were

hosting it not long ago.

2007.

It I

don't feel that long ago to me. It

is a shame for the Irish.

Ultimately

professionalism in sport, it has

come down to money, the sort of

lesser countries voted for France

because they will get a lot more

money out of it.

We have seen with

Samoa, the second tier nations, the

funding need to be looked at, if

they can generate more revenue it is

the right decision.

The Rugby World

Cup has to generate the most money

and France is the place.

Let us talk

about Wales and their new style

exhibited last week.

It is not

before time. I think if you a player

you will enjoy playing like this,

what they have to come to terms with

now, is to get the halfbacks to boss

where and when, to get this passing

down the linetor, get it to the

speedsters, the players who are

exciting and that is what they have

to come to terms with. I thought

they were, well they were exploring

it last season, now they have gone

full lot to well the two playmakers

at 10 and 12. I wish them luck. I

hope it is successful. Adds a former

player, that is how I wanted to

play, I am sure that is how Shane

wanted to play and Martin at a

stretch.

You will make mistakes when

you are transitioning.

They played

in the wrong areas last week, we

have to give them applause for how

they went out to play. You don't

have to play fancy rugby, so it was

a learning experience, it was an

improvement. I was pleased with the

forwards passing the ball. We

haven't seen that for a long time.

So going to take time, there will be

mistakes but hopefully not today.

Would you not have expected the

following week to back it with up

with a similar selection, 15 changes

to this Wales starting line up, what

do you make of his thinking behind

this?

I am glad he decided to make

changes, perhaps think a gamble that

should have been made 12 months ago.

There was rankings and seedings on

the cards but we seem to be 12

Mondays be signed some team,

especially England. The way that

Wales played, we have players like

Steffan Evans who looks for gaps,

touches the ball 15 times plus. Rob

Evans throwing dummy pass, we have

the personnel, perhaps this should

have come 12 months earlier.

This is

a fixture, this second tier fixture,

last year it was their last minute,

the win over Japan, they have had

defeats to Samoa, a draw with Fiji.

I believe the thinking has to be the

World Cup 2019. For me the back-line

is tremendously strong, the pack is

inexperienced, but in a World Cup

scenario they will get the gape, in

the past, in the autumn, it has been

a shambolic performance because the

new players come in. I hope the

experience of Lydiate, and the back

room, if you play together you play

well you will push the guys we think

are in front of you. If they do this

side has the capability putting ten,

15, 20 points clear of this Georgian

side.

When you make that amount of

change, as an opposition coach, in

addition worth his assault, it is

motivation for the opposition, they

will say they are disrespecting you,

it is a Wales A team today. There is

no qualms about that, but and this

team, we struggle against the second

tier nations.

This is a team that

really has great intent, Georgia at

being at the top table and playing

with the big boy, they have said

they feel they have a right to be in

the six nation, they are a above

Italy in world rankings, this is a

chance for them to take a big scalp.

It is a shop window, a huge

opportunity. I watched them last

week, not only where they physical

but they have a platform behind as

well. Cracking tries and they play

with intent. They mix it up. They

hit over gain line and they took a

team to be reckon with. They could

be a slippery one for Wales.

They

could be slippery. Georgia have to

play unbelievable rugby they, they

have been going on about we should

be in the six nation, they have

demolished everybody in the second

tier but if you have aspiration, you

talk the talk, you walk the walk,

they got hammered by Scotland last

autumn. They have to be within ten

points to talk about replacing

Italy.

No doubt it's a big occasion

for Georgia. All the second nations

love coming here. This is one of the

back room staff coming out to great

acclaim, he would have enjoyed that

home. Will they remember today,

though? Let us get more insight into

Georgia. Yes, thank you. Anton knows

what it is is like to play here. You

know what it is like to play in

front of big crowds. Your stadium

holds this sort of crowds.

It's a

big chance to play, it is something

to tell your kids after the ages we

have already played. Boys they know

that how lucky you have to play in

principality, against the Welsh.

Now

we know all about Georgia, we know

what they like, we have seen the

warming up. They love a scrum, a

driving line-out. Will we see the

likes of Matiashvili, that wonderful

try that has gone viral. The

evidence of that they have players

with flair as well.

Yes, it is young

talented, progress in every game,

every week, so he took the place of

a player who had more than 100 caps.

He tells himself he is a rising

star.

We have heard the guys in the

studio talking about the changes

Wales have made, a new team to the

one that lost to Australia here last

week, you have been speaking to some

of the Georgian player, how are they

interpreting the changes?

They were

frustrated. I think they held more,

they give them more, more power to

play against us, like a second team,

like the media say, it is a second

team but it is a dangerous team, the

Welsh.

I think Anton fancies this

one. Back to you. If you haven't

seen that try it is sin credible. He

buzz a down hill skier as well. You

want to come in on him.

She is a

tremendous talent. He is short,

quick, and...

Remind you of anyone?

He is not that good! So gifted,

talented. One to watch out for.

That

was the official line on Georgian

rugby from Anton there, let us get

something more informal now, I am

not sure if you have listened to or

seen any of the podcasts which are

available on the BBC online if you

haven't. Well worth having a look

at. What, we decided to send them

out to get the low-down on Georgian

rugby.

You have been tasked to travel to

find out more about the Georgian

rugby team. We have arranged for you

to meet with people while you are

out there, be on your best

behaviour, you flight leaves in two

hours.

Who do you have such a big

bag.

It is really light. Look. See?

Told you.

Look at the quads on that reserve

prop. Absolutely quadzilla. You want

to play against tier one sides, how

important is the game?

This is a

great opportunity for us, this is a

great opportunity to prove ourself

that we, we deserve a chance to play

Six Nations.

We can't control

whether or not we go in, we can

control how we perform. We get

limited opportunities against the

tier one sides so every game against

them is important.

What surprised me they are big

hundreds. But, quite athletic as

well.

-- lumps.

I tell you what, it is not a myth,

there is some proper big united

about.

Even I am feeling outof it.

There is a secret ingredient I know

about. I will show you.

Thank you for lending me your kit.

I

would have done it myself but my

asthma is back.

You know what I'm

like when I turn.

Start slow and rip

his arms off, do you understand me,

no retreat no surrender, imagine he

is jiffy.

Jiffy, jiffy.

David you

might need a safe word. Get what you

want.

Grand Slam.

You still want to walk my dog

Tuesday? Tuesday? Shanks, quiet I'm

on the phone to Nugget.

Massive

strength.

The scrum is the strength.

We have been round a bit. We see

them in the gym, they are big

muscular alpha males so the scrum is

almost the embodiment of what they

want to be as men on the field, so

it is no surprise they have a great

scrum. The line-out is different.

You need power and aggression but

you need timing. It's a delicate art

form, the line-out. That is where we

will see against teams like Walers,

that is where will see if they have

the detail yet.

We'lls.

Georgie, they won't let us up. Can

you buzz us up or something. Cheers

mate. See you in a second.

Was that

really the Prime Minister?

Yes.

How

do you know him?

Went to school

together. Used to run the tuck shop.

How big a moment is it for you to

meet David and me.

That is is a

great privilege.

That is a joke. How

big a moment is it for Georgian

rugby to be playing Wales on

Saturday?

This is a great

opportunity, of course we are very

proud of our national team, it is in

our blood, and we have very proud,

and I believe that our rugby players

will have a great game in Wales.

I

presume should Georgia beat Wales

you will declare a national holiday

for all.

Yes absolutely!

Thank you to those two for that

interesting social logical look at

Georgian rugby, and they make some

good points, it has loved wrestling

and produced strong men, ironically

the pack is heavier for Wales.

The

whole Welsh 15 is a bigger side. The

Georgians will have that natural

strength f you like, the use of the

wrestling, so I think all the myth

of a huge Georgian team doesn't

stand today when the Welsh side is

bigger.

Naturally they are but the

way the professional game has

progressed, South Africans used to

be so much bigger but they are not.

Everybody can be big it would seem.

Let us hear from their coach Milton

Hague. Milton, Warren Gatland has

made 15 change, do you see this as

your best chance of victory against

a tier won nation?

It is a

opportunity. Regardless of who it

is, I am sure each Welsh player it

will bring their energy and

enthusiasm. As I said yesterday it

is a double edge sword, I think the

people that take the places will

certainly bring their A-game, that

is for sure. Will have there is a

lot of inexperience in the tight

five, Georgia, you like a driving

line-out, is that an area you will

look to target? That is part of our

game, part of our DNA. We like the

facets of the game. To win game like

this, again a good Welsh team you

will have do more that that, we have

talked about that all week, I have

reminded them in a meeting ten

minutes ago. So we will see how we

go, it is a fantastic atmosphere, it

is a fantastic crowd. We look

forward to it.

OK, let us turn our

attention to Wales and among one of

the interesting selection choices

from Warren Gatland is putting Rhys

Priestland back in the starting line

up. Let us get the thoughts of one

of Wales number ten, Jonathan

Davies, it is fair to say, isn't it,

that this is, has caught the

imagination or the headline, he

hasn't had the easiest time with

some of the Welsh press and the

fans.

When he plays well he is the

most gifted attacking we have. He

has great distribution, good

communication, if you look back at

the 2011 World Cup, when he was at

his pomp. We looked very dangerous

and did very well in the World Cup.

So he is playing well now, he is

playing often for Bath. It is

playing the game in the right airias

especially in the Georgian pack,

that is their strength, we know

that, for me it is making the

decisions, but, he has got to make

the right decision because if the

pack is going to be on back foot,

you kick and play in the right area,

but I am pleased he is playing a

stand-off. I am pleased that

Williams is playing at full-back.

Why does the number ten get so much

attention in Wales do you think?

It

is the most important position on

the field, really. All the gifted

players play in that position.

I

have some differing opinions in the

studio.

All of them wanted to be

number ten really. I bet they

started at number ten in school. If

you look back to Cliff Morgan and

all those, Neil Jenkin, Steven Joan,

it has got the nation's imagine

night. They love to play number ten,

he is the one that controls and is

the link between the forwards and

the back, I don't think that has

changed. It has gone more defensive

and players are fitter, but the

number ten still calls the shot.

When he is on form, like we have

seen with Foley, you know, he is a

pleasure to watch at his best.

Fingers crossed. I hope Priestland

will have a really big game.

Thank

you Jiffy, hopefully he will be on

song, the music is ringing out here,

we did have a chat with Warren

Gatland in a quieter corner a little

time ago. Warren, 15 changes if you

include Liam Williams positional

switch

It is always a risk, the way

the guys have trained, particularly

Thursday, and yesterday and they

kept, they have been outstanding, so

it's a bit nerve-wracking but

exciting as well, it is a news mix

between experience and nine and ten,

Williams, back at full-back, and

Lydiate kept in the side, not front

and some youngsters are getting an

opportunity. It is pretty exciting.

Milton Hague has told me scrummaging

is in the Georgian's DNA, do you

expect a dog fight up front?

We have

worked hard on that this week, so

the technical thing is to keep the

ball on the park and keep playing

with momentum and tempo and try and

limit the number of set piece punts

they get, so look back at last week,

the first half the number of turn

overs and mistakes we made,

excellent second half, looking to

improve on last weekend.

Let us talk about one of the most

interesting of the selections, it is

no just a name that is particularly

familiar but Seb Davis is not a

number eight, and so he is playing

out of position. I have heard him in

the week saying it is just a number

on my back. It is a big ask.

Nobody

thought this was coming. He is a

huge talent. He stood out in the

second row, we have seen, you know,

Itoje goes from second to six. To go

from second to eight is a big ask.

It is a specialist position.

Controlling the ball at the back.

You stay back and take the high ball

from kick, he used to play outside

half and inside centre. It's a big

ask for him today and I hope it goes

well.

Sam cross who is more

well-known as Olympic medallists as

a sevens player, so there is a lot

of players that haven't got

experience at this level or this

kind of environment but with a team

of this cape bit.

It is always a cam

-- gamble. Sam cross is very

athletic, perhaps he is something

different and alternative to what

Wales have had in the past. He is

very good. He is inexperienced. They

must see something special in him.

The fact that Navidi played very

well last week, I thought. He

probably would have really loved to

have played today. Sam Cross is

getting that chance. This is is a

chance for him. He is the shop

window.

You would think Cross can

read the game. He will have pace,

hands and good distribution. And the

way Wales are playing at the moment,

he fits the template, more so than

possibly Warburton. It could fit

nicely.

The key to this game is

numbers one to five. The guys in

front of those, they need this plait

forment even to get parity with the

Georgians. Expect Wales to have a o

lot of quick penalties.

You only

have 21 caps in the front three,

which if you look, the pack is

lighter but in terms of experience

they have 600 caps.

When you are in

the middle of the scrum, the only

guy is behind you. A big game for

Kristian Dacey.

It sounds like the

Welsh are nervous about this game?

We are always nervous.

Surely be

have the confidence and ability of

the guys who are full-time

professional, I know a lot of the

Georgians play in Europe. There so

much talent in this Welsh side. It

has to happen. It is whether they

can gel as a team.

They have come a

long way we know and that first test

against England in 2003, when they

were smashed, but today they are

hoping history. They want to send

out a good team. They can also make

a name for themselves as we approach

kick off. Let us join our commentary

team Eddie Butler and Jonathan

Davies.

Good afternoon. The tunnel bathed in

Wales at home for the second of

their autumn series but it's a very

young Welsh team going out, to face

the Georgians who have been plotting

and planning for such an occasion

for five years. And the New Zealand

coach Milton Hague. Georgia want

into the six nation, what is their

message today?

As you said they will

look forward to this opportunity.

This is the stage they want to be

at. New style of Wales against the

strong forwards of Georgia, so...

It is a grand entrance for

Sharikadze, the captain of Georgia

and Dan Lydiate, captain of Wales

for the third time.

Warren Gatland, it is is a brave

decision, you have to blood the

youngsters or do you go for

continuity in the autumn. It is

playing in the right air yes for me

and tempo, keep the tempo up, keep

it a fast game. Keep it in play.

The

shot of the player alongside Rhys

Priestland. Owen Watkins, huge

talent.

Leon Brown of the Dragons. Welsh

front row.

GEORGIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

# Mae hen wlad fy nhadau

yn annwyl i mi

# Gwlad beirdd a chantorion,

enwogion o fri

# Ei gwrol ryfelwyr,

gwladgarwyr tra mad

# Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed. #

# Gwlad, gwlad

# Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad

# Tra mor yn fur i'r bur hoff bau

# O bydded i'r heniaith barhau. #

Over 50,000 here at principality

staid you. For Wales Dan Lydiate the

captain wearing six has twice as

many caps, with 63, as the rest of

the forwards, put together.

Behind the scrum is invention with

Priestland and Watkin. Liam Williams

switches to full-back.

Most of these forwards of Georgia

play their rugby in France, two play

in Bristol and one Bregvadze players

Forbes a team in rush. -- Russia.

The person to watch out for, the

danger man Matiashvili, he is

experienced every where. Georgia

have been plotting for many a year

for sup an occasion.

If you look at

the sides the forwards play for.

That is their strength, the

back-lines play for other teams.

So it is the strength we all know

that, but it is the decision make,

cutting the mistakes out. I expect

Wales to keep the style from last

week, through the hands and move the

Georgians around the field but

trying to cut their errors out. The

referee blows. Priestland starts, it

is bang on the half way. Cory Hill

goes up for Wales. Wales in grey.

Charcoal grey today.

Wales looking for that high tempo

from the off. Happy to keep the ball

in hand, keep the passes going. Alex

Cuthbert back in the Welsh team.

Mickey Smith the most experienced of

Welsh forwards.

Leon Brown, he is mobile.

Wales making ground George the

Georgian 22.

Smith clattered!

By Viktor Kolelishvili.

They got

numbers in, but the Georgians did

well to secure this ball. Now they

need to clear it.

Nar Nariashvili tries to find the

clearing kick.

He needs the kick to

give the defenders a bit of respite.

Lobzhanidze struggling to get the

ball away from scrum-half.

No one

wants the ball to clear it.

Nobody

wants a line-out. That is the new

game. They're still not going to

have one unless the bounce is really

wicked.

You have to find touch

there. Have a bit of respite.

Wales

have the penalty. Rhys Webb takes it

quickly. Rhys Webb at full speed.

The support from Watkins and Hill.

Oh, just a little nudge forward.

That is brilliant play by Rhys Webb.

He taps it... Just didn't get the

support. He takes a quick tap, he

runs across, runs across, spots a

forward there, straightens up.

Support should have been with him.

Davies with a great effort to get

there, No 8, there he is, just had

to hold the pass.

We wondered about

Davies being instinctively at No 8.

That will do.

There that is

knock-on.

All the talk about Rhys

Webb this season was about his move

to Toulon and will he play for

Wales.

It is a shame. I don't think

anyone really knows what happened.

But I know this guy wants to play

for Wales and he is bitterly

disappointed. They threw the ball

about, slightly lateral, you have

got to engage defenders, but it is

clear from the first few minutes

that Wales intend to keep the ball

in play, play with high tempo and

run the Georgians ragged. Being

everything professional, there is a

lot of semi professionals in the

Georgian side, fitness will be key.

Plenty of height and howers. Can

they put any pressure on this

Georgian scrum? It is starting to

move in a good direction for Wales.

That is good play by Bitsadze, the

No 8. Georgia happy to keep it close

to their own line.

He has got to

bang it and give the forwards a bit

of rest.

Wales up to the 10 metres line.

Scott Williams pauses.

There is space out there. Davies

very much involved. The ex-centre it

has to be said, Seb Davies. Then

second row. Now a No 8.

I think they

have lost it. It was a good chase.

They found touch, but it was a good

defensive line.

Scott Williams restored to the Welsh

midfield.

Advantage being played. Penalty

advantage.

Just take the three

points.

Chilachava in the front row.

He had

a real good scrummaging session

behind closed doors against England.

There is the penalty against the

Georgian. Not releasing the ball. I

think they will have, they're

throwing everything and going wide

all the time. I would like the

forwards to take it up the middle.

They're spreading, because they

expect Wales to throw everything at

them and put width on it.

Rhys

Preece land from in front. This

would be a reward for the early

Welsh pressure.

Straight as a die, Wales take the

lead. 3-0. You have got to take the

points. They run the first one it

was a bit further out. If it is

there, you have got to take them,

leave the scoreboard ticking over.

The points will come in the last 15

minutes of each half. This is the

first time the Georgians will have

been in the Welsh half.

And the

Georgians split their forwards.

Matiashvili restarts. Williams

tackled by Mikautadze.

Knocked by in by Khmaladze.

I think

they will put this over the

touchline. That is what is

happening. Kacharava offside. He is

the one that will go up and decide

whether - brilliant kick, great kick

that is.

Excellent kick down into

the Georgian 22. Priestland looks

calm and composed.

The main thing is

confident. He is playing

exceptionally well. I hope his takes

his Bath form into the game.

Talking

of availability for Wales and Webb

can't reach that 60 point at which

you can go abroad, Dan Biggar needs

to play every game to hit 606789

here comes -- to hit 60. Here comes

Wales. Have they grounded it?

That

is going to be going TMO. That was a

fantastic tackle by Lobzhanidze.

REFEREE: Is it a try or not?

Does he

get this down? There he goes. Man

and ball tackle. He has wrapped the

ball up. It has gone under neath

him. I think if he scored there he

has done well, because that is a

fantastic cover tackle. He has

smothered the ball, wrapped his arm

around it. Cuthbert has turned on to

his left shoulder.

Lobzhanidze is

under Alex Cuthbert, but does

Cuthbert slide it off the scrum

half's leg?

This might be the angle.

It is a tremendous tackle. You

cannot give that.

Not according to

the question asked.

Great play by

Wales though.

REFEREE: No grounding,

ball is held up.

The TMO is not

working and your mobile is out.

Lobzhanidze has saved the try for

Georgia. Still a good position for

Wales. It might be coming Cuthbert's

way. The Welsh formation now is

interesting.

They're all on the

short side. Do you follow them or

not? They haven't.

They have just

gone, they're going to drift here,

which is dangerous. Dan Lydiate on

the side of the scrum. Packing down

on Nicky Smith.

Good Georgian scrum. Davies does

well. Amos has work to do. To

Williams. It all comes back to the

pressure exerted at the scrum.

Georgia through Lobzhanidze. Does

well to get it infield to Williams.

Lobzhanidze involved again as the

tackler. Whistle goes.

I want you

have to have a look at the last

break down.

There is a decision

here. Foul play against Dacey, let's

have a look. It is a call against

Dacey from the TMO.

Or is it Cory

HIV?

-- Corey Hill? I thought he

said No 2.

REFEREE: Against the

black, No 4 black. It is out of the

play. Shoulder shove on the body

against you. Without violence it is

penalty kick here.

That is pathetic.

It is a contact sport. Why would the

TMO come in and just, and see that.

They just don't understand it. How

are you supposed to clear out in a

ruck? Martin will know more, but

just think, there is nothing wrong

with that. The one thing on the play

by Wales, I feel you don't have to

score at every opportunity. They

have got to build the pressure,

build the phases, keep the ball in

hand. They're rushing everything. It

is not Barbarians game. Sometimes

you have got to take the ball in,

recycle it and go again.

Interception, the referee is playing

a Georgian advantage. It went

forward. A risky pass though.

Very

risky, the Welsh defence was up.

That is where they're going to

struggle, the Georgians, they

haven't got the ability behind to

create anything. I just think that

it is all about feel. If you get

caught in your own 22 and the

Georgian pack maybe they can score.

I can't see them scoring from

distance.

They have a injury. It

will be a Georgian line-out in the

Welsh half. And we haven't been here

a lot.

No, apart from the restart.

You can read that. We could read

that from here. I think everyone in

the crowd ran it. Cuthbert is

playing well at the moment. When he

lays often his confidence is up.

Dacey just gets a finger tip to it.

REFEREE: Ball knocked forward. That

is my view.

A little knock-on by

Dacey.

That is his view and that's

the only one that counts. I would

like to see the knock-on.

Hmm.

I

don't think that is forward. That is

back.

First attacking opportunity for

Georgia.

The view from the referee.

Good

angle, good tackle.

The captain

Sharikadze. They do a lot of

carrying through their front five.

Mikautadze carries the ball a lot

for them.

Chance for Williams to counter.

Matiashvili is covering. There is a

loft space down there. The bounce is

important. Matiashvili back in his

own 22. A great follow up tackle by

Priestland.

They're very narrow at

the moment, Georgia. The last man in

the centre is the big second row.

They have got numbers here.

They

went for the risky pass. Nemsadze to

clear it up. Lobzhanidze is now tied

up.

Modebadze has quick feet.

Lomidze is the London Irish player.

That could be way back.

That is a

poor execution. Lomidze doesn't look

confident kicking the ball.

You

think the pressure weals are

exerting means there is not enough

time. He likes more time than that.

When you're tier 2, if you compete

for everything, they're counter

rucking, they're aggressive and

maybe they're not accustomed to

this.

This is the off-loading game Wales

like.

They need to be direct. Just

pick and drive. Suck those defenders

in, because they have spread across

the field.

If they come left there is a big

second row in the outside centre

position. It has to be quick though.

Watkin. Against his opposite number

and the second row. And they haul

him down.

Wales still have it.

Advantage for the high tackle being

played.

Great defence so far.

No advantage. Wales will go back for

the penalty. It is against

Mikautadze.

This has got to be a

line-out. It is a flaw of the

Georgian defence, they're

comfortable apart from the Cuthbert

break. They're holding the line

well.

The players know that if you

go high, you're going to get

penalised, but you wouldn't call

that a dangerous tackle.

No, I

wouldn't. Give him a warning.

Dacey

of the Cardiff Blues, with a very

busy start to the game. They want to

make sure of the signal now.

Dacey will want the ball at the back

of this maul.

Priestland on the leap. Amos for the

line. Amos opens Wales' account! As

a try-scorer.

Yeah, a couple of run

arounds in there. Holds the defence.

They get the space out wide. Amos

held his depth. Just watch here. The

ball comes back. They do well the

Georgian forwards. It is not going

anywhere and Webb makes the call.

Get it out.

At least all the

Georgian forwards have been drawn

into the line-out.

Watch the

right-winger, he doesn't take his

man,. An easy finish. All the

pressure, just watch, he has no idea

what he is doing the 14.

Two tries

in two games for Amos.

Lovely kick.

Lovely rhythm for the

kicking. Wales into double figures.

Wales will be relieved, for all the

pressure they have had and field

position, only three points on the

scoreboard. That will just make them

a lit more relaxed.

Priestland is playing well and

making the most of his

opportunities.

Amos still only 23.

He has been the medical student,

back from his shoulder injury. Here

he is again.

The Georgians will take that.

Line-out.

Do you think Amos catches

the kick off, the restart and says,

let's not mess here, after what

happened against Australia when

reception and exit strategy was all

a bit way ward?

Well you know, the

restarts were a disaster for Wales.

Even ending in Jonathan Davies

getting the injury, which was sad

and we wish him a quick recovery.

Hill making contact with the jumper.

REFEREE: Interfere in the air.

I

think he is going to go for goal

here is he? No, he had a little look

at it.

Not a bad kick. He is looking for

the five-metre line. Just touches

him in the air, but you can't lay a

hand on him. I don't think he was to

blame for him falling over, but you

can't put a hand on the jumper.

It

is also easy for the referee to see

if you're that high in the air.

Georgia will love a mauling

opportunity. Bregvadze the hooker.

They will give to it the scrum-half,

Lobzhanidze.

They went down the long

side there. The winger wasn't there.

He was very much on his own. Back to

the heavy weights.

The second row...

Shane said last

week they varied their attack and

played the cross kick, the grubbers.

Not scared to do it.

Lomidze drives

it up. Matiashvili. No ground yet

for the prolific full-back.

A well timed run by Nemsadze of

Bristol. But Wales stop him. They're

stuck outside the 22.

The ball's a

bit too slow. It is easy for the

Welsh defenders to nail them then.

Very good tackle by Smith. Georgia

knocked back another half metre.

Wales have got to keep their

discipline now. Keep their

composure.

Watkin couldn't get at

Matiashvili there, but the referee

says play on.

18 phases now.

Smith tries to hold up.

Two passes.

Long ball. Watkin. Williams. Amos a

long gallop to line. Amos into the

22. He is going to score his second

of the game!

That is the difference

in quality. They try and try and try

and then it is that one turn over,

two passes, great execution. Amos is

all over the second. Just watch the

steal. Smith gets his hand in and

rips it out. Good turn over, good

awareness by Brown. It is easy,

easy, take and give and finish. That

is what you want for a winger.

The

new age of prop. Smith with the rip

and the flip by Brown.

Have you got a clear angle. ?

I am

going to have a look now, I have

asked for all the angles.

They have something to resolve.

Whether the rip by Nicky Smith went

up and forward.

It is Conservative to say from this

angle, I think. From that angle it

has gone forward. The ball bounces

miles in front of him.

Difficult to say.

What do you think?

Goodness me, the ref is right there.

He has a very good view of it. Does

it come off the, does it come off

Nariashvili as it goes out?

Let us

look at the rip.

That is all the

angle, for me, the ball clearly goes

forward.

For you the ball clearly

goes forward.

Yes.

OK. No try.

No try. Hallam Amos denied. Denied:

He is Man of the Match so far.

Forward, with the rip.

That is the difference, that is the

difference, you know, how clinical

Wales are when the ball comes out.

Wale vision to put that clean out of

their minds, the disappointment,

forget about it.

-- Wales have.

A lovely finish.

Hallam Amos.

Georgia have to thank their lucky

star, they have gone from facing a

conversion to having this attacking

scrummage which becomes a penalty.

They will take the point ofs. They

will definitely take the points

here. Bring it to a one score game.

That is a ten pointer.

Yes, from minus seven to possibly

plus three.

Nicky Smith, he has had a couple of

minutes, hasn't he.

I want a clear space, thank you.

Matiashvili lines up the penalty.

Has had very little toll do in

attack so far, but this is to put

Georgia on the board.

Do in attack so far, but

Matiashvili, flags go up and

Georgia, instead of being 15, 17

points down, they are now only 10-3

down.

Not a happy bunch.

No.

Cory Hill.

Well taken by the big second row.

Lovely kick off. Good take.

Priestland. Sam Beard, slightly

risky but Wales should be be able to

wriggle and present. And they do.

Smith again. Brown, the front row

union working together.

Priestland. Sam Cross stretches,

stays away from the touchline.

Adam Beard, slightly risky but Wales

should be be able to wriggle and

present. And they do. Smith again.

Brown, the front row union working

together.

Priestland. Sam Cross stretches,

stays away from the touchline.

Webb tries to fend off Nariashvili.

Hallam Amos off his wing. Not

getting far.

Lsmomidze with the tackle. Smith.

They need to be more direct now,

they are just not committing

anybody. Watch that den -- defensive

line with the Georgian, they are not

committing many people to the ruck

or maul. Omidze with the tackle.

Smith.

They need to be more direct now,

they are just not committing

anybody. Watch that den -- defensive

line with the Georgian, they are not

committing many people to the ruck

or maul. Some defenders go wide.

Here he goes, Kristian Dacey tries

to do that. Lydiate.

That is where you have to target.

The third man this is a forward.

Usually a second or back rower.

Sam

Cross.

Lomidze on that occasion.

Patience has brought them this far.

Yes.

They are up to within striking

range of the 22 at least.

Considering they started in their

own half. Priestland. Lydiate did

well to read it there. That has gone

backwards, now it has broken up a

bit. Priestland has so much time he

can stop. Liam Williams injects a

bit of pace. Georgia the penalty.

He has to look to see who is

defending where, then target the

bigger man. Usually it is the third

man. As I said, it is either the

second row, Modebadze, he is usually

out there. Lomidze. They have to

look up and say there is a man,

attack him. I think they were

waiting for Lydiate to hit the hole

on that and he didn't read him.

Bregvadze, the hooker, who, he is

the one forward that plays in

Russia, up in Siberia.

31 minutes

gone and both divide have made 63

tackle, which is hardly anything in

it and you just feel that Wales are

dominant, where they are not.

Adam Beard did well to get a finger

the into it. The attempted break by

Khmaladze. Lydiate, that is is a

good stop on Bregvadze.

Chilachava. Nemsadze has been

penalised.

OK, at the break down.

Chilachava has been left down at the

point of the penalty.

Let us have a look at this.

He is in from the side.

Was that high?

I think it is earlier

than that. I think he was earlier.

He is looking

Let us have a look at this.

He is in from the side.

Was that high?

I think it is earlier

than that. I think he was earlier.

He is looking at the screen going

"What? What did I do wrong? "

Mikautadze, this is the one I think.

Round the neck.

Saw on right hand

side of the shot there, it's on the

neck. You know.

That is another... Just missed.

Georgia keep the ball in play and

back to Priestland so he has a play

in open sections of the field. Liam

Williams. Realised he was facing

equal numbers at least. So Webb

waits, back to Priestland. Change of

tactic. Cuthbert offside.

He just

checked a King then and Cuthbert may

should have checked his run. -- kick

then.

Top of your screen, he is offside.

You just have to hold your run

there, that is a silly penalty. Just

have to hold your run, the referee

is right in line, so an easy call

for him, just hold your line a

little bit. That is what they have

do is vary it. They have to vary the

attack, put the er grubber through.

Georgia a bit more cautious with

their penalty-kick.

But he it wasn't close, was it.

Well won by Wales on the Georgian

front. They launch themselves out of

defence. Liam Williams stabs it

through. Through. Hallam Amos, was

he checked? Cuthbert, husband pulled

pack because he said I must be

offside. Amos went for the deception

but Nemsadze. He is the other wing.

Koshadze, Cuthbert makes amend for

anything. 22 drop out.

He is very

busy, I tell you what, Modebadze, he

is away. One tackle. Lovely kick,

but too much pace, he is never going

to get there, the boast both of them

get there before him.

The final scramble, Cuthbert first

back. Back. He had come back a long

way Jonathan, he was way up there

with the kick chase. Modebadze.

Cross is waiting for the physio to

come on.

Long from Priestland. Khmaladze.

Kolelishvili tackled by Webb. Well

picked up Dacey, the hooker.

Georgia try and keep the hooker up.

Watkin.

It is not advantage over.

Wales, keep the ball alive. Webb,

just sensed props in front of him,

it is all too inviting.

It is there for Wales and that I get

the penalty.

He is not going

anywhere, is he?

I say it is a

tackle, it is a tackle.

Chilachava

has not moved at all.

The Toulon prop, Rhys Priestland

more conservative with his kick this

time, but a good attacking

opportunity.

He is still only seven

in front, they fought their way back

into the game. Three points, I would

have taken it there. But, Wales will

be hoping now, just before

half-time, good attacking position,

they can get over.

Rather than three point, seven

points.

Adam Beard has gone to the tail of

the line-out. Now comes forward. A

drive by Wales, a very good drive.

Dacey in control.

Cory Hill in front of him.

One-stop says the referee. Webb

checks.

Priestland, William, Hallam Amos.

Had to just check his run.

Cuthbert.

Good steel.

That is an excellent

steel by Khmaladze.

He just lost it.

There you go, there is a dummy run

again, Watkins holds the defence, he

will be straight up as an extra man,

you have to run-in side shoulder.

As

in not give the long pass?

Yes.

It might be said it was ripped from

him by Sam Cross, I think it was.

Khmaladze.

Slight pause while the coach of

Georgia, Milton Hague, has

experience of coaching in Scotland

and Warren Gatland invited him to

come and see the Welsh set up some

three years ago.

Georgia of course, in Wales' group

at the next World Cup.

Think they have done it for a great

offensive effort in the first half.

They will be pleased if it stays at

10-3. Try and go in with another try

under the belt.

Eight metres out.

Wales through Webb trying to get

Hallam Amos into space. It is is a

knock-on advantage. Sam Cross feeds

Williams.

A good pass by Cuthbert to Liam

Williams.

Scrum-half. Watkin provides the

service.

There is an injured

Georgian player under the post.

He

is up though.

It's a penalty to Wales back where

the referee is heading.

Rhys Webb had a look.

30 seconds

left.

Somebody, anybody? What are we going

to do? Priestland says corner.

Or they say to Rhys Priestland

corner.

Time for the line-out. Ten seconds

the go.

You have to run the whole

that. Is a deliberate knock-on, that

is where the penalty is, clear

penalty.

On the stroke of half-time, as we go

into overtime, Kristian Dacey to

throw-in to the line-out. Again it

is Adam Beard who has gone to the

tail. Brown at the front.

Forward comes Adam Beard. In goes

Kristian Dacey, to secure he has

dropped it. Has just gone forward

again. So an untidy end to the first

half. Wales have a lead. Could have

been more but Georgia held firm and

turned the try against them, into a

penalty for them, which means the

gap at half-time is is only seven

points. Wales 10, Georgia 3.

Which is... They will be happy with

that, the first 20 minutes was quite

compelling and it was an exciting to

see Wales with all the changes

continuing that progress they made

last week and their style of play,

but then it seemed to get a bit

disrupted as the half went on.

I

think we have seen a Georgian side

pumped up and maybe slightly

forgetting what they are here for,

the purpose to play good rugby they

know they are capable of. Wales have

dominated the passing, running with

the ball game and Georgia have a bit

part. It is a statement, a

difference in class and Wales just

need to Spartan up a bit. Be more

direct and the space will come

outside.

The difference in class not

just within the team but within the

Georgian team, there is more

competence and experience going from

the forwards, when it gets to the

back there's is a lack of idea,

inspiration.

They do try to cross

kick but there is not much

creativity in midfield. They are not

getting much success from their

driving line-out. The scrum is

pretty even. They haven't got that

forward dominance, so I think the

Welsh pack has stood up well. It is

agree with Gerry, we are making soft

mistakes and taking the pressure off

Georgia.

When they had a chance to

get field position and create

something the kicking wasn't great

for Georgia.

There is a lot of loose

kicks and and no-one wanted to kick

the ball early on. When the game

gets broken up Wales look dangerous.

The point is they are trying to play

too much. Georgia have been very

clover, they spread the width of the

field. They allow one player to

attack that break down. It is clever

but they will need to pick their

head up and get over the gape line.

Martin you spotted more sign, more

evidence of Wales changing their

style of play.

Evolution this Welsh

team. We have seen Welsh forward,

the same way but it was evidence in

Australia they are going both sides

of the ruck. Rhys Webb, we know what

a threat he is, it is nice to see

them not going the same way. That

first 10, 15 minutes I thought Wales

looked lively and sharp. Liam Brown

has had a good stand up game. They

have tried and they are evolving. It

will take time. You see forwards in

the midfield which is great to see

as well.

Obviously, Martin said

there there is evidence of this

evolution. You played like this at

Wasps. This is obviously something

that has been in his DNA.

Without

doubt. We know that in the past

there is is a team that is capable

of transferring out of contact,

playing round the side. Getting over

the gain line and using their strike

runners. We have gone from that a

bit but we trying to develop it

back. We are seeing Wales trying to

play too much, some time tos, you

need to say get over that gain line

and then use their striker, if they

are patient they can walk a few of

balls over the try line. They get to

a break down and they lose it

against one defender and that is

criminal in international rugby.

What havy made of Rhys Webb. There

was a good break for him.

He still

is the number one Welsh scrum-half

in my book. He is showing it. The

guy is gifted and talented. He loves

scoring tries he has scored then.

This is a great solo break that just

needed a bit of support, I think

they recognise this. They are

getting the offloads and supporting

them now they need to get there and

support break. It is great vision,

great pace, unfortunately, I think

Cuthbert comes in at the end and and

gives it a nudge. The ambition the

intent is great.

You have to come

away with a try. Try.

England would

have scored tries, that is the next

step of once it has been made

clinical and I haven't mastered that

yet. Is

Rhys Priestland with his

first start for two years, he has

had an interesting time at Bath.

That was what Jonathan said, he

wanted to see him today. He seemed

to be doing well in distribution as

well.

You can see the confidence of

his performances through Bath have

been reflected on today's

performance. He is a distributor,

his kicking has been superb, he has

put George under pressure and a good

chase as well. But just the simple

passes, I doesn't have to be clever

or pretty. He needs to put people

into positions, and with the run

round here, Scott Williams pumps the

pass. I am not sure what he is doing

there. Matiashvili has a lot of. He

knows he is there. It is a great try

for Wales.

I think Amos got injured in the

World Cup.

Before the World Cup.

Yes. He has pace, I understand, I I

have have the opinion, I think Amos

is a winger of full-back, that new

back three player, these are the

players who have to get the ball

into. They are talented. He did, he

was on for a second one as well were

you happy with the decision?

Hopefully we have a real close up.

Nicky Smith goes in for the rip out,

the pull

Nicky Smith goes in for the rip out,

the pull out. While it was we

thought it was a try but when you

luckily we do have the TMO. We

talked about it, did it go forward,

did it not. We believed it did. It

is what is good for me, is Wales, if

it wasn't going forward, at least

Wales continue to play on. Here we

are, Nicky Smith goes in and it

popped up and goes ahead of him. Two

passes. Amos would have been, is

away and would have scored the try.

He runs pretty quickly as well.

He

is not bad. Sam Cross found himself

with the ball. His first instinct

was to get it wide. What is

encouraging that Wales intent if

will is Saturn over, it is two quick

passes. Sam Cross had a cracking

long pass there.

Getting people like Hallam Amos and

Rhys Webb involved early. They are

dangerous when they do that. When

they get beyond the defensive line

they need to keep hold of the ball

as well.

Nonu member of the playing team

today. What have you made of that

first half. Wales are trying to play

with the same intent we saw last

week against Australia.

Yes, it was

a positive half of rugby from the

young boys, they have stayed to the

pattern and structure very well.

Cuthbert was held up and Hallam's

try was pulled back, there is is a

lot of positive there's. Defensively

Georgia were on the try line, we

pushed them back to the 10 metre

line.

Defensively solid from the Georgian,

do you sense in the second half,

Wales can exploit their lack of

fitness and their tiredness from

that defending?

I think so. One

thing we have seen in these sort of

games you have to stay in the fight

and wear the opposition down, we are

doing that slowly and holes will

appear in the last twenty minutes if

face stay to the structure they

trying to play, we should open up a

sizeable gap.

10-4. It could have been more. Do

you there there will be a sense of

frustration the lead isn't bigger

than it is?

Yes, I think so. It

mentioned with Alexander being held,

some great defence by Georgia. Hall

than 's try pulled back which will

be debatable, I think it showed the

defensive work and how we are

building that between attack and

defence, there will be

frustrationings to be only one score

in it. There is is a big 40 minutes

and plenty of positives from the

boys.

Enjoy the second half. From is Mohr

rugby to come for you on the BBC,

including what we are hoping is

going to be a belter at Murrayfield.

Simple truth, Scotland have never

beaten New Zealand.

Do they have a chance against the

All Blacks now?

Bowden Barrett. He is going to

score.

What a vital score for Scotland.

So you can see that one on BBC Two,

at 5.00 this evening, highlights of

England Australia coming up at 7.30,

and then we have rugby league for

you, an early call time, that is at

4.30 tomorrow morning. England pap

that new Guinea from the World Cup.

Let us chat about Scotland New

Zealand. The new era, looking very

exciting in terms of attacking last

week, scoring six tries but there

was defensive frailties as well

which will have concerned them in

the week building up to it.

If you

don't play New Zealand with your A

game plus, you are really going to

struggle. Defensively they have to

be less porous than they were and

have their heads, they will. Sides

all matically gear us because you

are playing the best. But it raises

your game. If they have such lapses

in defence against the All Blacks

they will lose by a lot of points. I

felt like the intent was we are

going to score one more try than

you, they have some exciting backs

and still you have the lights of hue

Jones and Dunbar, a fit Stuart Hogg

as well. So it is exciting. Yes, you

can see that in the pro 14 with the

likes of Edinburgh and Glasgow and

the way they attack and Gregor

Townsend he installed the offloading

game. Getting over, and yes, they

can score a lot of points but you

have to defence.

Otherwise you can

get away with it against Samoa, New

Zealand will Britain you -- rip you

to Reds. They are missing two good

player, so there is a hint of. They

have so much strength. I agree

Gerry, when you have New Zealand in

your autumn series, one eye is from

that game.

They were down to their

fourth choice loosehead.

You would say as a neutral, if

Scotland get within 107 points that

is a massive step up for me.

Anything lessen incredible. You are

looking at the 20 points plus, bad

game.

OK, the second half here is

almost upon us, and just seven

point, one score between Georgia who

have this real intent to be playing

at the top table and Wales who have

been experimenting with the line up

and trying to play a new style of

rugby, what do they have to do. Is

that enough for Wales today?

Not for

me, I am impressed with first half

compared to what has happened with

these games in previous autumns, I

expect Wales to come out Morocco hee

receive. Gatland is saying let's be

more direct. They have shown their

distribution is good. They have to

be more direct and be is parter.

It is a cliche, but the first score

is crucial. If Georgia get the first

score s everyone gets nervous. If we

do score first, players can relax,

the Georgians' heads will crop. --

drop.

Josh Navidi is on for Cross.

That would be an injury I thought.

Navidi had a huge game against

Australia. Probably a more powerful

player. An interesting substitution.

Georgia obviously in the first half

spent 20 minutes just entrenched

defending their line and this is

going to be a tough ask for them to

play that way for another 40 mips.

They will want want to go forward.

Yes they defended for the majority

of the half and did well. They

spread the whole width of the field.

And it has been successful. Now

hopefully there has been a word at

half time by the Welsh team whereby

a bit more pick and go and then use

the width and players like Amos and

Priestland. But Wales need to start

effectively.

Let's hand you back to

Eddie Butler and Jonathan Davies.

effectively.

Let's hand you back to

Eddie Butler and Jonathan Davies.

Josh Navidi wears 19 and comes on

for Sam Cross.

He had treatment at

the end of the first half. It must

be a niggle. I was at his dad's gym

yesterday, photos of him on the

wall. Hopefully his dad will be

happy with that mention. Make no

doubt, Georgia if you said they

would only be seven points down,

they would have been extremely

happy.

Soso Matiashvili starts the

second half. Williams with the

catch.

I think Wales need to flaert and

never to -- flatter and they need to

engage them. There is a couple of

opportunities they squandered.

A

beautiful offload by Hill.

Advantage Ove. -- advantage over.

If

you keep going behind the player,

you have to be flatter.

Navidi

almost up to the half way. Quick

ball for Wales. Brown with good

acceleration off the mark, the prop.

Georgia go high, but not dangerously

high. Davies did well A beautiful

pass by the No 8. That's gone loose.

Knock-on.

Good pick up. Knock-on.

There we go, lovely off-load, Davies

takes the hit, looks for the

off-load. Again it is great defence.

You have got to hold on to that

ball. The execution has got to be

good, yes, they're changing the

style and trying to be more

expansive. But you can't do it with

basic errors. Your skill level has

got to be higher if you want to play

a more open game. The ball will be

thrown at you, you have to be far

more clinical and cut the errors

out. I think Gatland mentioned that

in his pre-match interview.

Changes

in the Georgia side at half time.

Just to the right of scrum-half

Lobzhanidze is the halfway line.

Just got half a turn on, but Georgia

get the penalty.

Leon Brown penalised at the set

piece.

Georgia into the Welsh 22.

Six forwards in the line-out.

Chilachava the prop. Oh and away

comes Chilachava and he is bundled

into touch. It took a half-back and

a wing. Wales quickly away. Nonstop

action here. Amos with a good kick

down field. Spotted the gap.

Modebadze comes back.

There is the

division of Webb with the quick

three in.

It is a Georgian throw in.

Amos on the end of the breakout from

behind the Welsh line.

There is a

lovely pass. They're away. Two

passes - there you go. Nice to see

them. Right option there. In and

out.

Amos just...

I tell you what

Chilachava, nearly caught him

napping, he snuck down the

blindside.

Knock-on by Wales. Advantage

Georgia.

They will come back. Good work at

ball extraction.

Once you're

committed to the next ruck, is that

advantage over? You have made your

play. Good competition in the air.

Both the players going for the ball.

We are going to have some

replacements on the Georgian side.

Jinchvelashvili comes on.

I was

hoping he wouldn't come on!

Jinchvelashvili is only 22.

Still in

the game, as soon as you come on as

a sub, you're still in the game.

Jinchvelashvili can stamp his

authority on it now. A bit of

creativity.

The order is to use it.

Knock-on, that will be a penalty for

the deliberate knock-on.

He went for

the interception. It is a penalty.

Thankfully no mad rush for a yellow

card.

Very understanding by Raynal.

Jinchvelashvili finds touch.

Wales

need to pick the tempo up. Get on

the the front foot, get all the

forwards, Navidi is a good ball

carrier, Davies, Brown, even Smith,

they need now just to take it, carry

it and have a bit of variety in

their play. At the moment they're

just absorbing all the lateral

passing they're doing.

Almost there!

Navidi, the ball won by

Kolelishvili.

Watching here, he sees

him and I didn't think he was going

to make the pass. He must be able to

see him in his eyeline then.

Georgia apply pressure and they get

the penalty. They only trail by

seven points. There is a route back

into this game just by doing it the

hard way.

I wonder if Matiashvili

will go for this. He will know if it

is in his range. He is going for it.

Here we are. Just get the squeeze

on. They get the nudge and once that

happens, you know you're going to

end up having a penalty. They will

take the three points. As Martyn

Williams said, the longer they're in

this game, they're going to hang on

in there and put every effort, get

the forwards into field position,

try and get a personality. They

haven't looked creative at all. So

it is where Wales play the game now.

Soso Matiashvili. Just remind you,

this is the first ever meeting

between Wales and Georgia. So hi has

already scored the first points for

Georgia against Wales. Can he double

his personal tally?

Wales 10, Georgia 6.

Some serious faces. Not that they

ever burst into laughter that much.

Not many smiles there.

Off they go again.

Good clearance.

Webb saw the half gap. It just

closed enough to bring the

scrum-half down. Wales with a new

purpose here. Into the arms of

Chilachava.

Well, good tackle, boy.

Chilachava, you know, I am not sure

that went forward, but the referee's

given it. They just need to cut the

errors out now. He is held up.

That's gone back in my eyes I think.

But the Rhys Webb, the little dart,

keeps the defenders honest. Let's

have a look at this. He has done a

good job there, Chilachava.

Not much has happened in this second

half. Which suits George yashgs

Georgia, because they have nibbled

away with that penalty and if they

can keep it calm and have a few

chances.

It is a stop/start game,

which suits the Georgian side. They

have a big pack and they want to

play in the 22, or in any area where

you can get a penalty and kick for

goal. It is up to Wales to pick the

tempo up. Be direct with the

forwards, take them on up front. And

then release it wide.

How much will Georgia play from

here? Good scrummage again and

another penalty and they can do this

by territory from this penalty. Have

a line-out, have a drive.

And maybe

a yellow card as well.

REFEREE: If

you move forward, you cannot get up.

The tighthead cannot. Have a word

with your team.

As they're coming

on, they're spinning it round.

The

global picture they're dominant in

scrum and legally in my view.

Reward

the dominant scrum.

That says it

all, anything that happens in the

scrum, he thinks the Georgian pack

is the dominant one.

It is not the

longest kick by Jinchvelashvili.

Wales are claiming that Georgia are

push/pulling, which maybe a fair

point, but Georgia have the initial

nudge on to persuade Mathieu Raynal.

Now the off-loading game by Georgia.

Charged by Matiashvili. The wider

they go. Priestland does well to

make a tackle. Back up on his feet

straightaway.

A slowish ball for Georgia.

Lobzhanidze puts it down.

Sliced it. The back row of Georgia

are coming more into this game.

Ball-carrying.

A period of

possession for Georgia. This time

they go through the hands.

Trouble now for Georgia, Cuthbert

seizes on it.

Webb way out sort of midfield wing.

He has got the pace to live out

there.

More conventional position for Rhys

Webb. Williams chases. Lobzhanidze

let Williams creep up on him. The

referee hasn't awarded anything yet.

He has done well there. He has given

his forwards time to come back.

Georgia are no longer patiently

building up an attack, they're right

in their own corner.

That looks, he hasn't got the

biggest kick in the world.

You look

at the Georgian back line, lacking

creativity and pace. It is a

forward-orientated game.

Dan Biggar

comes on for Wales and Wyn Jones.

Tom Francis into where?

I think

Williams is off. I think Biggar

might go to 15.

Or 12. The two props

are off. This is Liam Williams

limping off. Would you say? Is that

a limp?

Tactical maybe.

And Leon

Brown leaves the field. Tom Francis

of Exeter comes into the front row.

There have been problems in the

scrum in the last few minutes.

Change at scrum-half for Georgia.

Off goes Lobzhanidze. He has been

very busy. On comes Begadze.

Always takes a little time to make

these multiple changes. Davies wins

the line-out. Webb out of position,

as in more of a midfielder.

A great

tackle again.

Biggar couldn't quite make the pass

work. Another break down in a Welsh

move.

Just the execution.

Dan Biggar

the full-back, do you think?

That is

interesting. If you're going to play

that pass, you have to keep your

depth. He was too flat. But it is

interesting Biggar at full-back.

Wales keep George ia in their own

half. Scrum-half Begadze on. Two new

scrum-halves against each other.

It has been pinched by Georgia.

An

unusual position, a stand off in the

line-out.

Held up. A maul shouted

Mathieu Raynal.

He is held up. They have all gone

up. Navidi has done a good job. He

made the tackle. Help from his other

players. Turnover. All down to this

man's tackling.

A scrummage and

Wales will want to make a statement

to the referee here that they're

comfortable at the scrum.

Well they

have made two changes, so there is

no pressure. It is two brand-new

props, let's see how this scrum

goes.

REFEREE: Keep the space. That is

fine. You have got a space. So just

keep the space between the bind and

the set.

I think that was all

directed at Tom Francis. He is

saying to Wales, I think the

problem's with you.

He's only just

come on. He hasn't had one scrum

yet.

That is a better scrum.

Solid scrum

for Wales. Priestland to Cuthbert.

Nearly intercepted by Modebadze.

Georgia will be happy that Wales are

cross kicking from the scrum. First

tackle. Now that we have settled

into a scrummaging change, what do

you think?

Yes, it is not the most

glamorous of second halves, that is

for sure. Wales are panicking a bit,

trying things and it is not quite

coming off. Turning the ball over in

crucial areas. Georgia are keeping

the ball well and keeping them

playing and frustrating the Welsh

team at the moment. This game needs

some points.

Another good scrummage for Davies.

Good tackle.

They saw him coming.

Still Priestland did well to

deliver.

First touch for Wyn Jones.

That is

it, flat ball, there is no one

there, look. Take them on there.

A

high tackle on the scrum-half. Adam

Beard.

Back we go to the penalty. Yeah,

high hit. By Chilachava. What do

Wales do? They're going it looks for

the corner.

No, change of mind,

going for goal, make ate seven-point

game. The tackle of Chilachava

around the neck. Simple penalty.

It has gone very quiet in the

stadium. It has gone flat on the

field as well. The coaches are not

saying a lot. Rob Howley on the

right having a little review. But we

need to get this scoreboard moving

again for the good of the game.

They

haven't worked out how to... Beat

the Georgian defence. So well done

the Georgian defence good.

Here is Priestland. Turns almost

immediately to pick up his tee.
