This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1, SHD & CSN on TV in SA.
*******************
Despite a 31-point winning margin and 6 tries, England will not feel at all happy about this match and you can bet your bottom dollar that Martin Johnson must be secretly fuming at the ill-dicipline and overall incompetance of the England side.
If Georgia had a kicker who could slot the penalties, the score would have been very different.
That said, it’s 5 Log points in the bag for England.

England scrum
Good Bleekbeen scrum
See what you mean about the Villi’s!
Excellent Vili line kick, out 5m out from the Bleekbeen line

Yip, the Georgian team is loaed with Wara-wara-VILI’s and Wara-wara-ADZE’s
England try, Hape again
Flood-gates open
England 14 / 0
Georgian Penalty and Vili-Walie goes for posts again.
… and he misses left AGAIN!
Don’t know what I’ve done wrong, been hyping the RWC up to my son, but no interest shown. My daughter, who should be with the ball and chain washing up, is now absolutely besotted. Woke me up at 4.30 am to watch the first match
Tip trackle by England… and still no Yellow
41 @ Just For Kicks:
Hehehe
At last
At last.. Vili slots the penalty
England 14 / 3
Decided to teach her how to down down at age of twelve, swear like a trooper, and start scrum practice in preparation for the cauliflower ears. Save buying a shotgun when she turns eighteen!

My yougster, BonzaiGBS, is 18 now, busy with Matric Mock Exams.
He’s a big chappy, 106kg… plays Loosehead prop.
England really do need to start p[laying rugby, looking decidedly normal at the moment
Is a big lad! Good luck with mocks!
Penalty England.
Over
England 17 / 3
First thing Barnes has got right, England need to start being ruthless – not toothless (my insert there)
The poms have the ‘deer in the headlights’ syndrome – they would have lost to Samoa this morning with this attitude
Here’s a pic of BonzaiGBS
must be a yellow, surely
It is!
no pic
Kickers been Vili-fied, going for a scrum!
56 @ Just For Kicks:

Try time, They deserve it, pic up, smart rags!
