Historic Win in Group D!

Georgia and Namibia both have a chance to record their first win at a World Cup finals in tonights match in Lens.

They’ve onw the hearts of neutrals around the world with some of their valiant battling displays in the tournament so far, showin them not to be just cannon-fodder in the group of death.

Georgia in a punishing schedule (which would never be handed to the top nations!) almost caused an upset before losing 10-14 to Ireland, Namibia gave Ireland something to thing about as well only losing 17-32.

Tonights match should be much closer, the last time these sides met the Europeans won 26-18 in the International Rugby Board Nations Cup tournament in Bucharest (back in June).

Georgia even picked up a bonus point for losing by fewer than seven points against Ireland! Namibia have picked up a slightly odder records with their defeat to Argentina their 10th World Cup loss in a row.

This should be a good game tonight for the Tier Two nations!
