    So, the Currie Cup Permier Division 2019 Final will be in Bloemfontein next week…

    Toyota Free State XV vs Xerox Golden Lions

  • 62

    Free State simply switched up a number of gears from about 10 minutes played in the 2nd half… and absolutely blew the Sharks away!

  • 63

    OK, I am out…

    Been a hectic Saturday for me… inspecting my one house after the old tennants had moved out, 3 live rugby matches overlapping on 2 seperate occasions, new tennants and handing keys over and sorting them out… fixed 2 washing lines, bank payments…

    I always say that I actually needed to be a set of twins, because then I could have delegated some stuff to another competent partner to help out!

    Far too few hands, fingers, eyes and time in one day for me!

    Have a good one, folks!

  • 64

    Halftime score was Georgia 3/23 Scotland, still that in 45th min

  • 65

    Scotland scrum about 7m out just right of the right upright. TRY!

  • 66

    Looks like Hutchinson scored the try

  • 67

    Laidlaw slots a tricky conversion:
    Georgia 3/30 Scotland – 47th min

  • 68

    48th min Huw Jones on in the centre for Sam Johnson wonder if he will go to outside and Hutchinson switch to inside centre

  • 69

    Good long kick on the penalty takes Georgia just into Scotland 22 and they maul it up

  • 70

    Penalty to Georgia

  • 71

    Georgia lineout 5m out

  • 72

    Georgia go over for try but ref had already blown for a penalty to them

  • 73

    Line out to Georgia 5m out 53rd min

  • 74

    Great defence out wide by Graham flying up

  • 75

    Another penalty to Georgia 10m infield and about 8m from Scotland tryline

  • 76

    Scotland player receiving attention looks like McInally or Watson but he is up again. The penalty was for a high tackle by Gilchrist

  • 77

    Am surprised Townsend hasn’t made any forward subs yet now in 55th min.

  • 78

    entire Georgia front row replaced and they have a scrum close to try line

  • 79

    Georgia score!

  • 80

    Good quick recycling and strong carrying and it looks like the substitute prop scored

  • 81

    Georgia 10/30 Scotland as try was converted – 58th min, Zander Fagerson on for WP Nel

  • 82

    Josh Strauss and Ali Price on for Matt Fagerson and Greg Laidlaw

  • 83

    Bit of a scuffle but it all ends in smiles

  • 84

    TRY! Graham in the right hand corner good passing and then he chased a kick through very well.

  • 85

    Strauss getting bit of treatment but he is up shortly after

  • 86

    Georgia 10/37 Scotland 64th min as Finn Russell has taken over the kicking duties and just pushes the conversion from near the touchline wide.

  • 87

    Scrum penalty to Scotland and its in touch midwayish between Georgia 22 and their tryline

  • 88

    Graham puts in another good tackle to foil a Georgia counter attack after Scotland knocked on, unfortunately Graham got a nasty knock to the head after the tackle but he carries on seems ok

  • 89

    TMO eventually calls for a reply and he got a glancing blow by a boot from the Goergia 23 but to me it was entirely accidental the player was looking forward and the boot to head was behind him as he lost his balance

  • 90

    TMO is happy nothing malicious so Georgia go back to throwing in the line out in Scotland half.
