Both sides showed frailty and quality last week. Tonga dropped off a cliff in the second half whereas Georgia came roaring back in the second half. Probably means nothing.
I've been singing Tongan praises these past two years as they seem very well coached. I think they will be ahead at 60mins and expect them to just hold on.

A decent result for Georgia, back to back wins against Pacific Islanders while Georgia is transitioning to a younger generation of players. This looked like wet conditions, so it was hard to draw too many conclusions.

This was a great November, we managed to build depth for the world cup while still achieving great results. We even had a chance to do better if Italy game had been 2nd or 3rd in line. Almost every position now has a decent rotation except #15, we don't seem to have a proper fullback at all.
Congrats Georgia!
It was the tough game and who watched it can't say wasn't deserved. Lelos were two time sinbinned and though they managed to hold up.
Tonga tried whole game to attack with strength of scrummage and pick and go, as Lelos have always done before. But times are changing- with the new generation Players Lelos try to Play passing and offloading with better skills- and not to kick the ball after 80 mins and continue to Play was the great conclusion ! It is Passion of real RUGBY- that is our GAME!!!
