ჯამაიკასაც რა უნდა ექნა, პირველად გამოვიდნენ ასეთ ტურნირზე, ნუ დავცინებთ, ჩვენც წაგვიგია დიდი ანგარიშებით ბობოლებთან.... ყველა მეტოქეს პატივი უნდა ვცეთ (რუსეთის გარდა :-) )
Georgia 90-3 Jamaica(IRB.COM) Tuesday 15 April 2008
Rati Nutsubidze starred for Georgia in their win over Jamaica with 19 points Photo: Jose Arcos MoralesGeorgia’s power and big tournament experience proved too much for brave Jamaica as they began their IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy campaign with a 90-3 victory at the Estadio San Carlos in Santiago, Chile.
Centre Rati Nutsubidze scored 19 of Georgia’s points, including seven conversions and one try.
Jamaica showed their naivety at this level, but with athletes of such obvious talent as lock Andre McFarlane and three more games in this tournament, they can only benefit from this experience.
On a beautiful day in the foothills of the Andes, prop Giorgi Jashitashvili scored Georgia’s first try of the tournament in the eighth minute, Nutsubidze adding the first of seven first-half conversions.
Further tries followed for wing Alexandre Tuchashvili, number 8 Viktor Kolelishvili, fly half Lasha Khmaladze, Jashitashvili again and wing Mikheil Tsiklauri. Nutsubidze then converted his own try before Beka Nikolaishvili and Tuchashvili scored in the last 10 minutes of the half to leave Georgia 59-0 ahead at the break.
Jamaica scored the first points of the second half, a penalty by Smeathan Tapper, but they were to prove their only points as Georgia added five more tries to wrap up a 90-3 win.
Georgia play Korea next whilst Jamaica face Uruguay. Both matches take place on 19 April.
Jamaica Coach Victor Hyde: "Well what can one say after such a score. However, the boys battled to the bitter end and never gave up. The Georgians were stronger, fitter and more skilled than us. Mind you the emotion factor must have played a part. This is such a huge first time ever for us: the first trip outside the country, the first major tournament, the first match against such a strong team.
"We were left wanting at the basic skill level: tackling, passing, scrummaging, so we will have to go back to square one. I am not downhearted though, because they tried their best."
Georgia Nicolaz Chavchavadze - forwards coach:"I have to start by giving credit to Jamaica. Such a brave and determined team. They kept coming at us, when other teams would have given up. The boys are a credit to their country. As far as our boys are concerned, we needed this match to get fine-tuned for the bigger challenges later on in the tournament. This was exactly the level you would have wanted and we practised a wide range of moves and ploys, which we have been working on in training."
