Re: Wales v's Georgia Official Match Thread

Well done Geogria, can only hope that you as a team kick on from here and do well in the World Cup, getting out of your group would be an immense effort. It's steady progress, fortunately, been waiting for a T1 scalp for 25 years now. Always thought we'd beat Scotland first, but I guess we caught W...

Re: Wales v's Georgia Official Match Thread

The last few scrums caught Wales off guard I think because we mostly avoided it throughout the game. - I guess the coaches realized they had something special with the new guys so they kept them hidden til the end. It definitely made a difference. I hope to see it in a higher definition now because ...
