Georgia defeated Russia for the sixth time in eight
encounters (one drawn) in highly entertaining but still
try-less battle
GEO recalled some old war-horses and they stood up to the
challenge. The game was won on the back of super- agressive
defence and astute tactical kicking
RUS were prone to basic errors and poor decision- making,
and luck clearly reserted them
Line-out was total shambles from both sides but GEO won
much more turnover ball in the loose
