The test match between Georgia and USA is coming up. The teams will meet this saturday in Tbilisi. Georgian players picked up several injuries during the game against Canada so few of our important players will not be available for the game against USA. one of them is Urjukashvili who scored a winning try against canada. most of the injuries were picked up by georgian backs. I don't have any information about USA national team if you know anything please share it with us
 
The US played Scotland 'A' (a fairly strong A team at that) and lost 26-0 last Thursday or something.
Can't add much more than that and than Ngwenya is quite fast, and Todd Clever should be a presnce if playing

The USA did play Scotland A but it was actually Scotland A vs USA A. A totally different team played Portugal and won and will play Georgia tommorrow. I have produced a match report of my own on my blog. Check it out: http://rugbyworldcup-argentina2023.blogspot.com/2010/11/georgia-vs-usa-preview.html
 
I think the home side will take this one, as I think their dominance in the forwards will prove the deciding factor. the US may have the better backs, and a good loose forward in Todd Clever, but it's difficult to set your back line going if your forwards aren't going forward.

I'm no expert on either team, and I picked the wrong one last week, but as Canada seems to beat the US most times in recent history, and Georgia beat Canada, i'd expect Georgia to beat the US.

I am no good at predicting results but I agree with you, last time we were beaten at home was in 2003 when barbarians visited georgia, and even they found it hard to do. and its not likely to happen this saturday
 
Wow, This was something special... Georgia 19-17 USA. Unbelievable game both teams put their hundred percent on the field. Georgia put a try on 88th minute after a 10 minute assault on US defense. I don't know what to write I'm still screaming and jumping out of joy.

I watched it live on the internet. What can I say but the USA were Cheated. Congratulations Georgia but 8 minutes of extra play is unheard of in 2010. USA winning 17-12 after 80 minutes. Play continues until the 88th minute following scrums and penalties. Georgia score a try and kick it to win 19-17.

The crowd was huge. Well done Georgia. Better refereeing required.

Wins over Canada and the USA. Watch out for the Lelos, A definite future tier one side in the making. They got a great crowd and now will only get better ones. What emotion for everyone involved to win on fulltime. Georgia could well host a Rugby World Cup.

Now I am going to try to watch Romania vs Uruguay!

I don't know about cheating, USA did get some questionable advantages in the game too so no one can say that referee favored Georgia. I'm really happy about the crowd, there were at least 3 times more people than against Canada
I also want to see Uruguay vs Romania if you find somewhere to watch it could you give me the link ?

Bad refereeing. It happens. Georgia got the win fairly but the ref went 8 minutes overtime. Congratulations again! Enjoy the win!

My match report: http://rugbyworldcup-argentina2023.blogspot.com/2010/11/usa-defeat-georgia-14-9.html

To see Romania vs Uruguay you will need to be online about 20 minutes before kickoff and choose the game to watch. You should be able to do so here <!-- w -->www.rojadirecta.org<!-- w --> or <!-- w -->www.myp2p.eu<!-- w -->

With a stop clock in operation, a half of rugby regularly hits 50 minutes. 8 minutes of added time if there's no stop clock sounds perfectly reasonable.

Agree with Toko, WTF Stallin mentioned in a review? He played rugby or was a manager of any rugby team in USSR or what? :) weird bro weird

We speak about rugby here ;) and not dictators and political figures ;)
 
Bad refereeing was there and too much mistakes

8 minutes were added correctly, because every slender touch and US players were lying on grass for minutes, and this continued whole match long-- this is weird, and not kinda rugby thing :(

Yes buddy I was there and watched match with interest

At first I want to say good words about US team: they played hand in hand very good, also were too aggressive in Rucks, Scrum was ours, but outs won more by US players.

Otherwise match was tensed and without aesthetics :) too much efforts for dominance in the center

US number 10 appeared too weak in kicks, as he missed from elementary positions

Georgia struggled much and finally overcame in scores, but with efforts

What was weird: that US players tried to win time after every contact, even those who do not know rugby were astonished by this fact

Referees were bad, very bad and that also contributed to low quality of match :( pity for that
