Georgia v Uruguay: Rugby World Cup 2019 – live! | Sport


Uruguay are without Manuel Diana, who was outstanding vs Fiji, with Alejandro Nieto replaces him at Number 8, and they are looking to ease their scrum worries against the strong Georgian pack by promoting Juan Pedro Rombys from the bench after he made such a positive difference in that area in the second half in Kamaishi

Georgia have a new captain for the day in hooker Jaba Bregvazde, and there is the potential at some point in the match of their backrow being constituted of Giorgadze, Gorgodze and Gorgadze, which will make my typing life quite uncomfortable. Not that this is something coach Milton Haig will be worried about, admittedly.

Georgia: Lasha Khmaladze; Zura Dzneladze, Giorgi Kveseladze, Lasha Malaguradze, Alexander Todua; Tedo Abzhandadze, Gela Aprasidze; Guram Gogichashvili, Jaba Bregvadze (capt), Levan Chilachava, Lasha Lomidze, Konstantine Mikautadze, Shalva Sutiashvili, Beka Saginadze, Otari Giorgadze.

Replacements: 16 Vano Karkadze, 17 Beka Gigashvili, 18 Giorgi Melikidze, 19 Mamuka Gorgodze, 20 Beka Gorgadze, 21 Vasil Lobzhanidze, 22 Merab Sharikadze, 23 Soso Matiashvili.

Uruguay: Gaston Mieres; Nicolas Freitas, Juan Manuel Cat, Andres Vilaseca, Rodrigo Silva; Felipe Berchesi, Santiago Arata; Mateo Sanguinetti, German Kessler, Juan Pedro Rombys, Ignacio Dotti, Manuel Leindekar, Juan Manuel Gaminara (capt), Santiago Civetta, Alejandro Nieto.
