Georgia 18-18 Portugal: Rugby World Cup 2023 – as it happened

Here’s the report. My favourite game I’ve covered so far. Just a wonderful contest. Georgia scored in the first minute and dominated the first half. But they couldn’t put Portugal away who stole three balls and repelled Georgia’s maul.

Then Portugal started chucking it about and their winger, Storti, scored two wonder tries. Georgia’s maul rumbled over for a late try before both sides had the chance to win it with a kick.

Thanks so much for joining me. Hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.

Levan Maisashvili, Georgia’s coach, doesn’t look as glum as his captain. But he’s not exactly wearing a cheerful face either.

Rugby is not just one half. We played very hard in the first half. But in the second half Portugal dominated. We lost all our opportunities by playing poorly in the second half. That’s rugby.

We know their team. But we didn’t execute our opportunities. When we got a chance to play the ball. We lost our breakdown and Portugal played very well in the second half.

Still, they’re unbeaten against Portugal in 19 matches now

Statistics are statistics. That statistic is not rugby.
