Somewhere outside rugby's old favourites, sits a new nation with an old passion for watching big men thunder into each other to fight over an inflated pod. So how did rugby come to dominate Georgia, and how is their team looking ahead of next year's World Cup?

Awesome video, detailing the immense potential of Georgia. Would absolutely love to see them in the Six (Seven) Nations. Similar to Argentina in the RC; they'd probably take a year or two to find their feet, but would definitely eventually get to the level of regularly beating Italy and possibly France, plus occasionally causing an upset against the others. All the best Georgia! Love, an All Black's fan.

There is a slew of talented Georgian backs coming through the youth ranks. They will take Georgian rugby on another level during next 5 years. Some of them could make an impact already in Japan.

Xc Force the under 20 World Cup team had a lot of talented backs, particularly the halfbacks Asprisidze and Abzhandadze. They beat Ireland, Scotland and Japan this year. I reckon within 5 years those current under 20s will be beating some of the senior tier 1 teams.

As a Portuguese I saw many battles between my country and Georgia, and as you said it is an amazing team, for some years now nothing out of T1 countries can stop them, even this year that Portugal is playing much better we couldn't touch them, they deserve a promotion and it would be grate for European Rugby to extend to at least 8 teams with promotion/ descent from REIC to 6 nations, creating this way a kind of European cup.

Vincente , I'd like to see something like this England Romania Wales Italy Russia France Georgia Spain Ireland Germany Scotland Belguim Teams in the higher and lower tier play against each other once while Italy and Georgia from the Mid-tier, well Italy as the higher seed could play three teams from the Higher Tier and two teams from the Lower Tier and Georgia would play two teams from the Higher Tier and three teams from the Lower Tier, thus giving every teams five games , we could also have a sixth weekend where Italy play against Georgia and followed by a Grand Final as the teams from the Higher Tier would not have played against the same teams, the position of the higher seed in the mid-tier could be reviewed every two years and the lower seed in a play-off against the likes of Romania, Russia or Spain etc and likewise the bottom team from the lower tier should play-off against Portugal or the Netherlands ,thus giving every nation a chance to move up the ladder

Thing to add to AJ MacGinty's prowess, yes he grew up in Ireland, but his father was the principal of one of the rugby feeder schools for the Leinster Squad, Blackrock College, and so he attended school there, learned high quality rugby from an early age, then pissed us all off when he went to the US instead.
