Scotland 15 Georgia 6

Scotland: R Lamont; M Evans, N De Luca, G Morrison, S Lamont; D Parks, R Lawson (capt); A Jacobsen, R Ford, E Murray, N Hines, J Hamilton, A Strokosch, R Rennie, K Brown.

Replacements: D Hall, G Cross, A Dickinson, R Gray, R Vernon, C Cusiter, C Paterson.

Late change with Scott Lawson pulling out and Ross Ford coming in - definintely adds to the bulk of the pack. Unfortunately means Dougie Hall will come on at some point though.

I'm off work today so can watch!

Come on Scotland!!!!!!!!!!!

Here we go - excited is a massive understatement!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't see Scotland making the same mistakes they made against Romania, or Ireland made against Georgia in '07. Think they will find it difficult to break them down, but will make sure Parks keeps the three pointers coming, keeping Georgia just out of touch.

You'll be fine

Good start - good kick off take, win a penalty and Parks a booming kick to touch

Some real big hits going in from Scotland here - good to see

Big buggers aren't they?

Big Georgian runs being met with big Scottish hits

Hang on a minute...which is the top tier nation? Haven't seen Scotland with the ball yet except a knock on

Fantastic tackling so far! I'm glad there's a 10 day turnaround to the next game cause there are gonna be some sore bodies after this one.

Oh no. Idiot Clancy in the rmiddle -bummer !

Interesting advantage there.

Just shy of the odd support runner to make these half-breaks count

deja vu

Knock-ons hurting Scotland at the moment

Too many knock ons from Scotland for my liking - back messing up again!

Scottish driving maul shunted back 10m, but then blatantly dropped by Georgia?

Agreed. And not sure how Georgia lose advantage with a ropey kick down some Scottish player's throat?

I reckon we had that scrum there - their hooker popped up!

Could do with an easy 3 pointer or something soon to settle the nerves

Scottish mistakes turning the ball over

I was talking about the repeated comment EDIT: which doesn't seem to be there I'm going mad!

Flankers have got to have their heads up at the scrums and not just push

Great work from Kelly Brown. Reckon we'll see lots of blindside breaks from Georgia as Scottish flanker will be tightly bound to help in the scrum

Can someone update the scores please? I'm in work and the BBC "live" scores are dogpoo

Lovely length to that kick (just outside of the 22). Shame about the offside

0-0

0 - 0 Cari

Who is the Georgian SH, hes very good.

3-0 Georgia, long straight penalty

Penalty

Georgia 3 - 0 Scotland

Great penalty from far out.

Yachvilli, I think they said. Not Dmitri unfortunately for the Georgians

EDIT:completely wrong,it's Irakli Abuseridze

Ta. Come on Scotland!

Scotland definitely taking the game to the Georgians - plenty of near ball carrying, then spraying it wide - the gaps will come. BELIEVE

Oh Dan....

Parks pulls Scottish penalty wide

Not more missed kicks?!

We've got to keep this tempo up

To be fair he just completely shanked that one! No fault except Dan's!

Yup, apparently only 63 were kicked out of 124(? I think he said?) on the first weekend

Miles offside at the scrum

3-3

So thats why the commentators havent pronounced his name, they just say 'the captain'

The FH is actually Kvirikashvili, but the commentators just say Yachvilli.

Scotland look awful. It's really difficult to support such an awful rugby team. I hope Georgia win.

Arse

The first ten minutes was embarrassing for Scotland.

Georgia look very good, I wonder how long it will be before they do what Italy have done.

Could we see a 7N in the future?

Erm, no it wasn't

Miaow - what's the need eh? Bugger off if you're gonna be like that!

For sure, their pack are the equal of most 6Ns's teams, but their backline will hinder them from progressing for a few years yet, I suspect

Lads ignore the wummer. The Foe button is your friend

Come on Scotland!
