Russia 21-29 Georgia (in Mariupol)

Victorious against Russia during the match played in Mariupol (Ukraine), Georgia take the first place of the Rugby World Cup 2011 qualifier and win the European Nations Cup 2009.

On Sunday, Georgia won its fourth match of this season versus Russia (21-29). Played in Ukraine, near the Black Sea, Georgia eventually came out on top by leading 19 - 6 at the half-time with the help of the wind. 

Georgia keep its European Crown and strengthen its first place of the Rugby World Cup 2011 Qualifier standing.

Georgia 28-23 Romania

It was funny... Especially some Sandro's words :-) Rugby was not very impressive, or I was not concentrated.. :-)

Georgia 10-14 Ireland (RWC)

• Georgian tenacity embarrasses Ireland


• Ireland escape biggest World Cup shock


• Ireland scrape past Georgia


• Irish survive, but only just


• Bonus is in surviving Georgians


• Sorry Ireland going from bad to worse


• Ireland shaken to the core


• Ireland must go back to basics to overcome Georgian brawn

There is talk of letting Argentina into a Seven Nations tournament. Why not make it eight and extend the invitation to Georgia? This was an utterly compelling spectacle. We waited for Georgia to blow up or Ireland to remember how to play rugby but neither happened (Sunday Telegraph).

Hope never dies
