| 79 | Georgia look disappointed, but they have only themselves to blame, not their best effort ever. A last-ditch effort from the Lelos now as the final whistle gets closer and closer. Uruguay have a spring in their step as Georgia knock-on AGAIN. Replacement halfback Bernardo Amarillo feeds the scrum and the ball is fired out and into touch! Game over, there goes Deaker's final whistle. Plenty of joy for Uruguay and a well-deserved win for them. They took all their chances, while Georgia just battled along for 80 minutes. They did not do themselves any good today and would be bitterly disappointed with their performance. Kudos, however, to Uruguay, with their second win at the World Cup, following on from their win in 1999 against Spain. Thanks for joining us! |
| 77 | Uruguay win their ball this time and rumble ahead. They are penalised for 'truck and trailer'. Captain Aguirre not happy, but referee Deaker will have none of it. Georgia kick to touch, but straight to Cardoso, who kicks back and chases. A knock-on by him, however, and Georgia have the scrum-feed in their 22. Uruguay swing the scrum past 90 degrees and win the free-kick. Lemoine does the hard-yards again. They wait for the ball to come out, eventually it does and Diego Aguirre flies away, Campomar in support and he passes to replacement forward Nicolas Brignoni - he is over! What a fine try, finally, some movement, and a try that Uruguay needed. It's their third and it should be the clincher as Juan Menchaca converts. Joy for Los Teros. |
| 73 | They tap and Pablo Lemoine carries the ball ahead. They kick, Georgia knock-on, it's advantage and Uruguay run it, then they kick high into the 22, the ball bounces lose and Georgia manage to clear. They are still under pressure, however, and Uruguay have the line-out in striking distance. Georgia steal, but don't make much ground from their kick to touch. |
| 71 | Georgia attack, thanks to another line-out - a correction from earlier, their starting hooker is off, Akvsenti Giorgadze has been on for some time! Back to the game now as the Lelos cough the ball up again. Uruguay have the scrum. A turnover sees the ball change hands again - oh dear - but Georgia knock-on. Uruguay scrum. Now they have the free-kick. |
| 69 | Uruguay on the attack again from the re-start, but they are too keen and concede the penalty. The Lelos clear their line. Dadunashvili throws in - it's a short line-out and they make ground. They grubber, Menchaca does well, but he tries to run out of his 22. He is turned. Now Georgia are turned. Good work from Aguirre junior as his older brother finds touch. |
| 67 | Uruguay waste no time in kicking from the scrum and they force a line-out in enemy territory. The ball is stolen, Georgia go wide, finally, thrilling stuff as they let the ball do the work for them. They fly down the left, the ball is kicked ahead, but a Georgian is shouldered into touch off the ball as Juan Menchaca tidies up. Penalty says ref Deaker, but no card. Hmmm ... that should have been something other than a penalty. Anyhow, Merab Kvirikashvili will kick at goal now and he slots the kick - Georgia refuse to give up, a converted try can win the game for them. Game on? Let's hope so! |
| 65 | There was actually an earlier knock-on by Georgia, so Uruguay have the scrum. They feed, but concede a penalty for putting hands in the scrum. Kvirikashvili kicks to touch. It's now or never for the Lelos - can they win their first-ever World Cup match? Well, it would seem not ... A huge forward pass from them - certainly the biggest we have seen in a bit! - and a scrum to Uruguay. |
| 63 | Uruguay win their line-out ball and then kick straight up into the air. They win the ball back and then weave the ball into the Georgian 22. Tidied up by Georgia and kicked to touch. Lamelas throws in once again. Uruguay secure the ball and try to drive ahead. Somehow Georgia turn Uruguay and they try to run the ball back. The ball is out and play breaks down. The story of this game thus far ... |
| 61 | David Dadunashvili throws in short, his team-mates lend their weight and drive ahead. They kick to touch. Uruguay with a line-out win, but there is a turnover. The ball is knocked on by the Lelos, but they have the advantage. Penalty to them and Kvirikashvili kicks to touch. |
| 59 | The Lelos re-start, but Kvirikashvili's kick is too far - out on the full. It's a scrum to Uruguay. They keep it tight and then stab ahead into the Georgian 22. Malkhaz Urjukashvili kicks to touch for Georgia. Lamelas throws in at the line-out, they win the ball back. They drive ahead and then stab into the corner in Los Teros' 22. Crucial line-out throw in Georgia's 22. |
| 56 | Lamelas finds his No.8. They drive up - their forwards all climb into the maul and Georgia cannot hold them. They are over the line and suddenly Lamelas bursts out and over for the try! What a fine effort from the hooker - and isn't he happy!? A crucial score here for Uruguay, who have been the most impressive of the two sides to date. Skipper Aguirre converts - Uruguay 17 Georgia 9. |
| 54 | Lamelas throws in - he finds his man in the line-out, only to lose it forward, Georgia now, but they cough it up. Uruguay run back at them, they are into the Lelos' 22 now, Cardoso grubbers ahead, Georgia tidy and kick out. |
| 52 | Uruguay re-start and the ball is knocked back by Georgia. Not pretty, but effective as they kick to touch. Uruguay with the line-out win and they drive the ball up. Good ball-carrying from them, but they lose it forward. Not ideal. Scrum Georgia. Irakli Modebadze feeds for Georgia. They win the free-kick and find touch - what a fine effort. |
| 49 | But back to the game now ... Georgia with a clean line-out win and they spread the ball to the left. Play is held up as a player goes down - this could be serious, no, it's okay, the player gets up and his team-mates play on immediately. They kick ahead, Georgia field and run the ball back. Merab Kvirikashvili will kick at goal again for the Lelos, he takes his time, lines it up and slots the kick - Uruguay 10 Georgia 9 - just one point in it now. |
| 47 | Uruguay kick deep and Georgia waste no time hacking the ball into touch. That's better fellows - now keep doing those basics right. Diego Lamelas throws in for Uruguay, finding man in the line-out again. Penalty to Georgia, there could be a problem here for over-zealous rucking by Uruguay. Ref Deaker did not see exactly who it was, so no cards, just a penalty. Could the citing commissioner have a look here? Probably, let's just hope what gets decided is fair. |
| 44 | Uruguay kick the drop-out and the ball rolls into touch. Georgia, now, with the ball after a good line-out win. Play is becoming scrappy again, but the Lelos win the penalty. Merab Kvirikashvili - the replacement at fly-half - will kick at goal. What a fine kick - it's over, Georgia add their score. Uruguay 10 Georgia 6. |
| 41 | Welcome back to Aussie Stadium! Jimsheladze looks to be off for Georgia as they re-start the game. They win a penalty and miss another shot at goal. This is not Georgia's night. |
| 39 | Uruguay kick ahead into the Georgian 22. Machkhaneli tries to run the ball out and he gets caught - why not kick? - giving the penalty to Los Teros. Aguirre will kick at goal - can he add three more points on half-time? That answer would have to be no as it bounces off the upright. Georgia scramble the ball back and kick to touch. That's half-time - Uruguay leading by 10-3. Hopefully the second half will be a bit more entertaining. See you then! |
| 38 | There's a semblance of a backline movement as Diego Aguirre beats a man. His brother Sebastian tries a drop-goal. Georgia dot down and kick the drop-out. They force a scrum - their first put-in of the day. Irakli Modebadze feeds the scrum, free-kick to the Lelos. Modebadze takes it, they lose it forward. Uruguay scrum. The front rowers must be loving this. |
| 37 | Uruguay lose the ball on their own throw. Jimsheladze kicks out of his 22, yes, you've guessed it, no touch. Uruguay cannot run it back and lose it - a turnover. Georgia try to run out of their 22 and then lose the ball. Uruguay try the drop-goal. They miss. There's a hold-up for an injury. Finally, Jimsheladze kicks the 22 drop-out. |
| 35 | Uruguay return, a ruck forms on the Georgian 22 and the Lelos have it. Jimsheladze kicks to touch. Guess what? He misses touch! Uruguay run back, then kick, Georgia try to run the ball out of their 22, but look like crabs as they get pushed sideways and into touch. |
| 33 | Dadunashvili throws in, he finds his skipper and he palms the ball down to his scrum-half, off the top, Brumbies style! Jimsheladze takes the ball flat - another knock-on. Uruguay with the scrum-feed and it's a penalty to them. Referee Deaker not happy, he speaks to the Georgian front row. Captain Aguirre will kick at goal again. His kick is not straight, low and flat, but he ends up just, just missing the goalposts. Jimsheladze kicks long and deep from the 22 drop-out. |
