[QUOTE="welshglory, post: 808511, member: 38673"] You have to delve deeper with Georgia. Their grassroots programmes are very impressive and backed by the government, age grades sides are very competitive (as well as U20, they finished above Italy and Scotland U18 level, and funnily enough the home nations pulled out the year after) as we've seen with the future looking incredibly promising, especially considering they don't really have any pro teams domestically (see Italy). They have a billionaire backer as well who has invested in facilities all across the country and assists with the national team. Not to mention they have nearly 20 or so front row forwards playing in first division and second division leagues across Europe They are far ahead of Italy in their structural development in my reckoning, if given a shot and with the increased funding it would bring they would make the most of it unlike Italy (and Scotland with BT now) who have sat on there arses until talks of relegation have been mentioned in the last world cup cycle.
