France 64, Georgia 7 in Marseille (World Cup, Pool D)

France won by 57 points. I predicted France by 30.

Previews

Georgia has most of its players playing professional rugby in France at various levels. This will be an advantage in so much as they ‘know’ the French play. The Georgian forward pack should just about hold its own against what is becoming a dominating French pack. Once the ball is out the French will be too skilful and will score easily especially in the second half as the Georgians tire. Watch out for that Georgian try. They will erupt and for them that moment will be their World Cup victory.
