All Blacks XV v Georgia

Reckon ah Khoi has gone well. Georgia is a good choice to play because you have to win the forward battle.

He's certainly busy and vigorous. If the ABs are looking for a lock/6, he's looking a better bet than Scooter/Delaney/Finau/Vaai/etc.

Has the stream cut out for anyone else or is my phone playing up?

It's halftime if that helps...

[Mr Fish]

The turf isn't great for a Top 14 field...

[Billy Tell]

That was obstruction at the maul. No way Christie was behind Eklund there.

Kurt Eklund has a double. 24-13

[Bones]

That's how you put a grubber into the 22...

[Bones]

And the team score from the resulting lineout. Love teamwork. Great try Kirifi.

[Bones]

Ok maybe not.

Nice run by Hotham but no one with him.

[sparky]

ABs XV now lead 31-13.

[Mr Fish]

Georgia's captain's accent is wild haha. Sounds American, Irish and Georgians depending on the words.

[sparky]

It finished 31-13 to the ABs XV. Strong performances by Ah Khoi, Kirifi and Jacomb.

Pleasing for the ABs XV to finish their European tour with two wins out of two.

Spoke to a few of them after the game. Apparently the Georgians are more fat than anything so not nearly as physically as it actually looks

This was a frustrating watch at times because of the stop-start nature of the game. Hearing the ARs always adds to the spectacle as you understand why penalties were given. MacNeice can fuck off with wanting to check every try.

Numia and Ma’u had problems in the scrum. I hope Naholo's injury isn't serious as it happened in the final seconds.

Numia has probably had one of the biggest workloads of any player in New Zealand this year, his form started to dip towards the end of the Lions NPC campaign so he is well deserving of a big break. Hopefully he can have a good off-season and come back even stronger next year.

Also, I noted that the commentators made a mention of Mohed Altrad, who was standing by the AB XV bench. Playing this game at his stadium in Montpellier was obviously part of his sponsorship of NZ rugby.
