Jacobsen should visit a dentist.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:45 SAST
Georgia making hard yards… and eventually concede a penalty… story of the match
September 14th, 2011 at 10:46 SAST
Kak line out work by the Scots.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:49 SAST
Penalty to the Scotts, on halfway… posts it is
September 14th, 2011 at 10:49 SAST
Parks going for a 50m kick.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:50 SAST
And he misses it.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:50 SAST
Missed to the right…
Only 6 points in it, amazing

57 @ Loosehead:
It is a really messy 2nd half, hey!
September 14th, 2011 at 10:52 SAST
This would be regarded as summer weather in Georgia.

@ grootblousmile:
Ja, it is. I am enjoying it though.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:56 SAST
Front rows are set too far apart.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:57 SAST
Scotlands backline is even more boring than the Springboks.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:58 SAST
61 @ Loosehead:
Fark, we enjoy EVERYTHING which has rugby written on it…. hehehe
Penalty to Scotland, Parks will go for goal again. If he does’nt slot this one, then Georgia deserves a shock win, somehow!
September 14th, 2011 at 10:59 SAST
Over.
Scotland 12 / 3
September 14th, 2011 at 11:00 SAST
Game back on.
September 14th, 2011 at 11:02 SAST
Scotland 12 / 6 as Georgia hits back with a penalty of their own.
September 14th, 2011 at 11:04 SAST
Another penalty to the Scots…………and Parks…………………slots it.
September 14th, 2011 at 11:04 SAST
Penalty to Parks, on the Georgian 10m line… and he goes for goal, naturally
Scotland 15 / 6
September 14th, 2011 at 11:05 SAST
Scotland making heavy weather of this game, not a single try, having had to rely solely on the boot.
September 14th, 2011 at 11:06 SAST
2 mins left. Georgia has a penalty.
September 14th, 2011 at 11:07 SAST
Lock fluffs it. Scrum to Scotland.
September 14th, 2011 at 11:07 SAST
Georgia gets a penalty, they choose not to go for 3 points… a bit dof I think. If it was over they were in bonus point territory.
… and they knock…
September 14th, 2011 at 11:08 SAST
That must be game over!
September 14th, 2011 at 11:08 SAST
Final Score: Scotland 15 / 6 Georgia
September 14th, 2011 at 11:10 SAST
That’s me done for the day.
Check you round like a doughnut.
September 14th, 2011 at 11:11 SAST
Well, that is it for today’s matches…
I owe, I owe… it’s back to work I go!
