HIGHLIGHTS | AUSTRALIA v GEORGIA | July Internationals 2024 

Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

He did really well

Akaki Tabutsadze - he currently plays in Georgia for Lelo Saracens but I can imagine some French or English club might be looking at signing him after that showing.

🤣🤣🤣

That's determination to make an impact on that scoreboard a real one man team

Very true! Rugby generally needs to be fair, so that sport can develope! That close boys club menthality dosnt work, it actually harms the sport! Open the doors WR!

Consider according to WR, Georgians have only a bit more than 6000 registered players.

@@gkankava Maybe it had more to do with finding teams we could beat lol

"Top flight" - maybe 20 years ago. We are ranked like 10th now.

Now we need Netherlands and Germany to become competitive like they are in soccer(football). There is plenty of Afrikaners in South Africa should help their ancestors in rugby (“Ja”). 🤣🇳🇱🏉🇩🇪

Not going to happen unless they make it 7 Nations, and I don't think clubs would be too happy with that

By the time Spain. Portugal, Georgia and Fiji. Samoa and your mum play in the six nations well have the 17 nations and the four nations Rugby Championship. Why in heaven is there no call outs or pressure to expand the Rugby Championship? I would oppose expanding the 6N until the RC allows expansion.

​@@galinor7 neither should expand any further

thanks, bro! all the best to the old neighbors, from georgia / sakartvelo !

no Gruziya, axper. We are Sakartvelo and you are Hayastan (not Armenia).

@avtandilkhitarishvili2322 well yes fair enough that's true if you want to get to the crux of things but Aussies don't know what Hye/Hayastan or Sakartvelo is so to make it easier for them..... also I have nothing but respect for Those from your country. It's those land thieving scum to the east I take issue with.

ЦАВАТТАНЕМ !

He's not very new actually. Crazy he still didn't get his chance in France, Prem or URC.

I was watching him closely but to be honest I didn’t think he did anything special. I would have thought number 14 had a much better performance than tabutsadze

Fuck CCCP

Ah the old boys club, tournament

Will probably be the 6 nations. Wales'll get relegated with Gatland in charge.

*8 nations, as Georgia and Portugal are now in the under 18's six nations. So give it a few years and you'll both be in the main one.

​@@freddiemedley5580Georgia have 1000 and Portugal had 0 won over them,Georgians won Rugby Europe 3x times more than any other teams in there also they won that tournament 10x times in a row,their U18's won over france in their first ever six nations tournament,Georgians have absolutaly elite U20 team as they already won over France,Scotland (2x times),Argentina (2x times),Ireland,Italy(4x times) and current world champ England (2x times) when Portugal doesnt even participating at world cup,i support and wish for open doot policy thats the only way for rugby to became global sport as football and basketball but still i think that mentioning Georgia in one context with Portugal or any other developing nations is very unfear as they are above all over them.

@@fonsecafonseca7330 What do you mean Portugal doesn't participate at the World Cup? In the 2023 WC they beat Fiji and drew with Georgia (and deserved to win)

He had a few flashes of brilliance but nowhere close to being man of the match.

Would have been if not for the red card.

What are you talking about? Georgia beats Wales , Japan, Italy and almost beat England... I think Australia will get better...

​@@PF-vu2gdAnd Fiji kept Georgia try less in Georgia and won hhe game

Nah Matkava at #10 was Georgia's best for sure. For Australia probably McReight, absolute beast on both sides of the ball

Just looking at to where they were 20 years ago, compared to where they are now, it is quite unbelievable

Because there is Portugal. Georgia is my 3rd

Fiji has entered the chat...

Very true 😢

They scored two tries from six with the maul, one of those was because they had 14 on the field. IMO pretty good in my books.

Very shallow analysis of the game - Wallabies made a number of breaches through their shape forcing errors and pens which allowed them opportunities both with ball in hand and through their Setpiece.

@@WhatAboutKenny Fair enough. I should have written mauls and grinding on the try line. Georgia had a hell of an entertaining game by contrast.

As Australia have learnt many times in the past; flare doesn't win you rugby matches. Australia always has attacking ability it's the forward battle they often lose.

A year ago some of us were saying they should be in 6N ahead of Italy; then this year happened. Now, I think the 6N could easily become the 7N.

Yeah they definatly play attractive competitive rugby and it is also their national game.

I'am french man. In TOP 14 (french rugby championship), whe have a lot of georgians players, generally forwards. I'am sure they play pleasant and physical rugby.

@@Karma-qt4ji It would need an extra weekend in an already packed schedule and the clubs won't agree to that. I would like to see a play off between the bottom club in the ^ nations against the winner of the second tier competition to give them a chance of promotion

@@speleokeir It wouldn't take an extra weekend; all they need to do is remove one of the two weekends in the middle of the comp where they currently don't play. Players do not go back to their clubs for that weekend anyway.

Completely agreed. I've always loved this guy! (unsure who he is)

​ Sean Maloney

Every right to be!

თამუნა ❤❤❤

And the population of Georgia -- 3.8 million!

Part of this is also that Australia isn’t actually very good at Rugby anymore.

@@DeftPol 😆so true! It's no wonder they struggled beat Portugal last year in the World Cup! Lol. 😂😂😂

Also glad to see Joe Schmidt's Wallabies continuing their winning form. As an Irish fan, I'll always have time for Joe

Even when they were stereotyped as just a big forward pack, they were still one of the best outside the top 10. Along with Japan, Fiji and Samoa, Georgia has long been a regular in filling the 11-15 ranks. It's bombed out a few times, but that happens when you're in that tier.

😂

Yeah, postcards from the edge….
