Ah shame, Aus look to have woken up.

Aus disallowed try for maul obstruction. The Aussie hooker at the lineout was doing the modern technique of placing his heels on the white line with the rest of his feet in the field of play, thing is in the motion of throwing he's standing on his toes and lifting his heels, he's standing fully in the field of play before the ball leaves his hands. It was clear on the replay for that non-try, but I think he's doing it every throw.

Georgia really have some potent backs nowadays. When they get the ball you almost assume it will be a try.

Cool, Sky UK showing it in UHD/4K. Looks great.

C'mon Georgia!

Maybe the Aussies need a Currie Cup 1st division side like Georgia has had to improve their skills?

Some really good tries from Georgia. The one from right on their own dead ball line was incredible.

Georgia are not just knocking on the door they are hammering at it. Lots of good players and 'fast' backs.

The one with the beard really stood out.
