Springboks v Georgia 1

MiketheSnow

There's a real romanticism on here whenever Georgia is mentioned.

Fabulous country, fabulous people, decent team.

Boks by 30-35

It is on Stan in Australia

Really? It wasn’t when I last looked (which admittedly was probably yesterday morning). I’ll check in a bit.

Yep 2.55am July 3rd

Yeah, I just checked, they also added the Ireland v Japan game which they didn't have shown yesterday.

They need to sort out having the correct games shown in the week before a match.

Couldn't find a match thread for this...

Actually kind of curious to see how the Springboks come together on it since they haven't played together for so very long. Georgia have the capacity to be a tough game though I would ultimately expect them to be beaten.

Great to see Georgia on tour and would love to see it when not being squeezed in pre lions etc.

Also the first Raeburn Shield challenge since RWC2019 so nice to see that going again.

I mentioned elsewhere the Boks have been unbeaten since November 2018.

Invincible they are.

Boks are an unstoppable juggernaut. Thank fuck we didn't play them or England last year.

MiketheSnow

Score please

Bones

@mikethesnow 19-9 SA leading into the break, after a missed DG attempt from Georgia. When I posted my previous post, Georgia were 9-5 up....

Bones

33-9 to the boks.

Bones

40-9 ten minutes to go.

Bones

That's the final score.

Imagine what Georgia would do to the ABs.

2nd half -

MiketheSnow

Smith might be small for a No 8 but no one is going to stop him from 5-10 yards out off the back of the scrum with his speed and strength

MiketheSnow

Excellent debut for the winger
Full complement of skills
