Some amazing offloading, Mackenzie in particular while nearly being tripped over. Pritchard has 12 points already.

Edit: Why is a Georgian player wearing #24?

Edit Edit: Marshll needs to improve his throws big time.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Marshall's throwing has been dire.

 

[Canucks]

Love the backs today. If only canada could not shoot itself in the foot with these costly errors.

Am I only one getting confused between Phil Mackenzie and Conor Trainor?

As well, am I only one who thinks the commentators sound like a sober bob and doug mackenzie?

 

[LittleGuy]

Do you not use z and v in Canada?

this commentator is getting every Georgian name terribly wrong

not sure what the co-commentator was watching saying Kvirikashvili had a good World Cup and is a danger man for Georgia



change shirt due to blood

He used to play with him, they might be buddies.

23-7 for Canada at half time. Can't wait to see that try in the highlight package and the one we missed Arrggghhh!!!

Edit: LOL Canucks I'm not going to be able to listen to them with a straight face for the 2nd half, I'm liking them a lot better than the Kingston crew though, and the camerawork has been much beter.

My guess is 6000 here. If not for the errors it is 40 - 7 at halftime. Best Georgian so far their LW.

Terrible game from Georgia we are getting the basics wrong. our scrum is awful, combinations and passing non existent. Someone should tell Abu to stop box kicking, He's done it million times now and i don't remember the last time it did any good. Tkhilaishvili(7) is working hard but he is lighter than a feather, no wonder labadze switched the sides with him so they could balance the scrum or it was lightweight prop in front of lightweight lock in front of lightweight flanker- other side exactly opposite situation. Kiassashvili just needs to learn how to play. Nariashvili is having a hard time. Backs should stop knocking on already... Also Where is this ref coming up with offsides. so basically I'm really ****** off and when I hear the commentator pronounce Georgian names like that I absolutely go bunkers!!!

Seems like a good crowd Rusty. Some of the play has been a little sloppy on kickoffs and line-outs. The open field defence has for the most part been excellent however. I see this game headign in two directions, Georgia continue to dominate possesion and keep the score close possibly even competitive, or Canada fixes the mental lapses and run's rampant.

Commentator can't even get Canadian names right who the heck is Holston?

Edit: Thats game over Duke huge intercept try.

 

[Toko_11]

Dive at him man dive! I could've caught this guy

Edit: kirkishvalia ? man at least get the beginning right... or the end... or the middle. where is he coming up with this stuf

Also Dalya on Canada LOL it's Dala, I think he's just a poor commentator.

 

[LittleGuy]

Nasty headbutt by Tkhilaishvili on Carpenter lucky for him it was missed. Fairhurst is off the field for White.

Edit: Marshall has been dire, throws are off and he's not binding, could get a card, may need to come off before that happens.

 

[LittleGuy]

Hard work by Georgia is paying off with a try off the lineout but the difficult conversion is missed 28-12, for anyone wondering.

Edit NEEDED to get Marshall off the field now he's been yellow carded and Canada are down to 14 with Georgia in close.

 

[LittleGuy]

Wow ref cam up with wonders there. I don't understand why would Canada need help in the first place! I like how Canadian backs play. im tired of these experimental sides. We will never play like kiwis so we should stop trying and stick to our game which is a strictly forward driven game. we have such a huge advantage over everyone's scrum why not use it ?! I just do not understand! I wanna see a forward game against Japan and Fiji without any excuses -_- Congratulations to Canada they are obviously the smarter of two Unions

Two weeks in a row when you guys settled down into your usual game plans in the 2nd half you were the better team. Canada took advantage of the errors and our back line made some good breaks, but your forwards set the tempo from about the 35 minute mark onwards.

You see that has been our game plan for last two years. we hold back and play with backs. but if we are in trouble at the end they bring on heavy forwards and start playing our game(which is pick and go and short pass to forward. whenever we start doing it we take over the game. what I really hate is the fact that we could start and win like that BUT NO! our union decided to teach THE NATIONAL TEAM PLAYERS!!! how to play a backs game... which is downright stupid. you don't teach a new style to 30+ yr old players you do that at high school age in their clubs! not in the national team for chrissake!
And that my friend is why I'm raging

Thanks Pyschic, I'll let you guys know when the match gets archived and if the forst 6-7 minutes we missed are available and get a highlight package up ASAP. I'll probably collect my thoughts on the tour as a whole in the next couple of days.

I'm loving the backline, Trainor and Mackenzie are on fire, DTH looked his usual self today, Pritch had 21 points and was close to another try towards the end. I felt Fairhurst and later White were much better at distributing today. Evans was adequate at #10 which isn't his usual position.

The loose forwards I felt came through today especially in defence, Dala showed why he should have been starting before Chauncey even got hurt. Carpenter was immense and Ardron did well for a young player.

Still some question marks in the front row, the lineout throws by both Marshall and Pletch were horrendous, and Marshall had a pretty bad game, once again taking some dumb penalties that this time led to a card.

Tough game.

Front row: Marshall was terrible, really lost his composure quick in that game. I don't think he's an option at lineout. One of his issues at SFU was when he made a bad throw, he then proceeded to make 8 bad throws. Tiedemann should adjust better after a few games at hooker. Dolezel was quiet but in a good way.
Sinclair did well in lineouts, wish he had an opportunity at flanker. Hotson played well.
Carpenter and Dala were monsters today. Made a lot of key tackles. Canada had consistent ball going forward from both players.
Fairhurst/White had a much more composed game today.
Evans looks like a good option at 10 if ever needed. Mackenzie and Trainor were monsters out there, big tackles, big runs.
DTH was lethal on the wing.

Backs were great, forwards got kind of run down but what can you expect. Felt Georgia fought well during the second half.
