The fact that most of the media just stereotypical and outdated comment on teams outside Tier 1 (stuff like Georgia are just a scrum + Gorgodze, and Japan are still as bad as they were when they were losing by 100pts) was exactly my main motive for starting this site.Beeman15noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982190399560663297.post-48503101482039955362014-02-25T20:11:19.076+00:002014-02-25T20:11:19.076+00:00Let me just say this! when it comes to tier 2 even...Let me just say this! when it comes to tier 2 even the most prestigious newspapers publish stereotypical and outdated info on the web. you actually discuss this topic better(more in depth) than most Georgian newspapers. let alone the foreign ones. Keep going! Someone should let you publish for their newspaper since they won't find anyone more knowledgeable about Tier 2 rugby no matter how long they look!!!Nikonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982190399560663297.post-34440723649825178242014-02-25T15:30:25.475+00:002014-02-25T15:30:25.475+00:00More accurately it's Munstermen who adore ROG....More accurately it's Munstermen who adore ROG.

Whilst there was one booming kick over the head of Horgan, I felt the scrum halves both played a bigger role in the kicking game, which was as you say very successful.<br /><br />I made sure to mention that he is capable of some superb moments though, even in that terrible England performance. Those moments show that he's got talent, just his defensive frailties and his ratio of producing them to the errors that's the problem. <br /><br />At 15 I would rather have someone consistently unspectacular but solid, than someone who fluctuates throughout the game. In those crucial moments, I would rather a safe player, even though Kvirikashvili is probably the more talented.Beeman15noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982190399560663297.post-44489600567850099252014-02-25T10:25:09.257+00:002014-02-25T10:25:09.257+00:00The blog "The east terrace" named O'...The blog "The east terrace" named O'Gara "the most influential british and iros lion of all times" (of course, tongue in cheek): http://www.espnscrum.com/lions-tour-2013/rugby/story/170062.html<br /><br />:)ultravioletunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982190399560663297.post-48559691140325026022014-02-25T08:53:19.776+00:002014-02-25T08:53:19.776+00:00Ziraqashvili is the name, plays for Clermont Auver...Ziraqashvili is the name, plays for Clermont Auvergne<br /><br />P.s. thanks for interesting analysisDimitrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982190399560663297.post-18938827229557977132014-02-25T08:49:54.596+00:002014-02-25T08:49:54.596+00:00Correct on the missed kicks vs Ireland in the RWC0...Correct on the missed kicks vs Ireland in the RWC07 though if you're going to be balanced, his fantastic punting in that game was a key reason Georgia got territorial dominance and were able to pressure Ireland so much. He had two really good breaks vs Russia last weekend but also had a charge down which lead to Russia's sole try, and a truly bizarre knee-kick to try and deal with a Russian chip behind the Georgian backline defence. He also missed touch from a penalty but luckily the Russian player knocked on anyway! And despite these errors he somehow still got MOM in front of Basalaia, Koleishvili, and the vet prop whose name I've just forgotten who all put in far better all-round performances. If he makes the RWC he better earn that nice MOM Tissot watch he got!Simon Coxnoreply@blogger.com
