Why are you interested in rugby in Eastern Europe?

Academic interest ...

I don't know, but there is so many potential in Eastern Europe.
I would want to see more competitive countries in rugby and I think with more investments, these countries would be very competitive both at national team and club level

If Russia were able to play good rugby, I would not be interested in those who play a lot worse.

You must have strong nerves ...

Impressive georgian defence, winning the game with only 28% of possession.

They made 201 tackles with 93% success!
3 players with more than 20 tackles!

Special mention for the backrow :
6- Tkhilaishvili : 13 tackles, 1 try
7- Kolelishvili : 21 tackles
8- Gorgodze : 24 tackles, 1 try

Also, very strong georgian scrum and good game from 18 years old Lobzhanidze, who became the youngest RWC player ever

Gorgodze named MOTM
