*******************
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 still a try short of the bonus point.
Penalty to the Vili’s again and Vili-Walie goes for posts…
… and yet another miss!
Ons ou Akkerkoppie really blowing the penalties this morning!
Johnsons punch worked – to a degree, sorry take that back, didn’t
Clear, clear, clear Georgian Penalty… what about another yellow… for that cynical offence!
Fark, the Vili Villian hits the upright!
He’s cost his side a plethera of points!
Nee jussie… England dicipline at the breakdown is SHOCKING!
Georgia may lose, but they are teaching them how to play rugby today – imagine if all those kicks had gone over
England escaping this one, but against a side who would have slotted the kicks, they would be struggling.
Try by Tuilagi
good run, try
England 29 / 10
The score flatters England, but bonus point in the bag.
Chris Ashton scores… sudenly it’s ballooning
Better, but still from loose play
England 36 / 10
Who amongst the English players can feel happy about this game… nobody really!
The water boy’s done pretty well
He wont need a drink tonight
