A brace for that man.

Portgual are really coming to life as the game wears on.

Portugal's 9 looks knackered.

Only one team in it atm, question is if Portugal can build enough of a lead

Tadjer played out of his foreskin, not sure I'd have pulled him off just yet.

A pity as we all love an underdog but that’s a hugely patient and professional try from Georgia

Very much a game of two halves as the old cliche goes. A draw probably fair. Not the first time Portugal have drawn with Georgia recently. Despite their self-advocacy, they're not the only tier 2 European team worth paying attention to.

Thoroughly enjoyed that, yes there were lots of mistakes from both sides, but both sides never gave up so probably a fair result

Just watching the Georgia v Portugal game, I’m sure I just heard the female commentator say “one shot, one kill, one hell of a party” after a try….. What the fuck is that all about

Pool C has to be the most even 5-team pool in RWC history.

Even with a fantasy bank line. Not sure what fantasies the commentator has.

Did Smith goose step or did Farrells pass make him stop?

Chile look a lot more practised at using the ball than we do.

Witth England it's either forwards OR it's backs. We've not really caught up with the 15 man game concept.

England look utterly clueless with the ball in hand.
