Looks like obstructive running by Georgia but ref lets them away but now Scotland turn it over and kick it out deep in Georgia 22
73rd min still Georgia 10/37 Scotland
Try Scott Cummings 73rd min, good strong carry after it went through a few hands after a quick tap free kick by Scotland
Georgia 10/42 Scotland didn’t see the conversion attempt but can’t believe it was missed 75th min
Toolis out on his back hope he is ok and it’s more just a case of tiredness
TMO looking at a bit of argie bargie
They looked at push and shove at a ruck between the two tight heads and then earlier in the move it looked like Georgia 23 came flying in at a ruck and connected head first and sent Maitland stumbling backwards but ref and TMO let it go it seems, not easy to follow as have sound off as the commentary is in Georgian and my Georgian is not the best
Looks like Scotland last try was converted and the TV has corrected the score 10/44
Clock in the red and it’s a Georgia lineout on 5m after they earned a penalty
Huge defensive maul by Scotland driving Georgia back, they try run it back but a good tackle causes a knock on. Game over.
Final score: Georgia 10/44 Scotland
Not good to see Josh Strauss limping a bit as he is making his way to shake hands etc after the game.
Not sure if there were many places commenting on this game and the Currie Cup semifinal at same time. Cheers
