Georgia should definitely take Italy's place in the 6N.

Not sure I've ever seen a scrum turn into a ruck before.................

Would the Seven Nations be such a bad thing? 6 games each - sounds like some other big annual rugby competition.

Well, why are they making all these errors? It's the same shit they've been doing ALL YEAR.
Trying to play champagne rugby with every touch of the ball.
Backline plays far too flat, they end up throwing manic passes, they have no patience. You are supposed to BUILD PRESSURE. It's simple stuff.

More hot garbage.
"Accuracy" says Mccaw?
Try pre-season Super XV side.
Kieran Read, a punchdrunk child.
More "rustiness" can fuck right off, wft, this is supposed to be their peak form after 4 years of precious fucking around
France/Ireland, take a number and form an orderly queue, these pompadoured media champions are looking to have their return boarding passes stamped.

Clubs would be up in arms, no chance of that happening.
There could be a promotion / relegation game between the last of 6 nations A against the first of 6 nations B, but it would probably be detrimental to the complete style of play Italy have been trying to develop over the last decade.
Also, while Georgia is making impressive progress, it's still not in the same league as Italy (despite what the ridiculous rankings say). Georgia have only beaten Samoa (1), Tonga (1) and the United States (2) throughout their history. For all their flaws, Italy have beaten all 6 nations sides bar England.

No need for panic stations yet. If some teams play this far below their potential, they lose against... oh, I dunno, let's say Japan.

These European clubs. Talk about the tail wagging the dog. Tell them to STFU and get in line.
And they are the best European side outside of the six nations - they need at least some look-in.

Another shit pass. WTF is going on here? Starting to worry that a southern hemisphere side won't win this world cup.
Kidding, always fun to give the northern hemisphere false hope though.

The first touch of the 2nd half was another error, Hansen will be pleased. Are they getting the choke out of the way now?
Seriously if NZ just played simple and built a few phases there is easy space out wide

That Georgian scrum though...
If they can manage a try here, the last 30 minutes will be much more interesting than I anticipated.

No. There's enough of 2 weak links in a 6 nations tournament.
Phuck. That game is depressing to watch. I'm starting to miss the cricket scores.

How will Georgia reach the next level otherwise then, if they can't play against better teams on a consistent basis?
Italy may be bad in the six nations, but they're not walkovers that often.
Also, Georgia isn't as major on football, and rugby could become their number 1 sport - this will never happen in Italy. They also have the physicality and build to excel in rugby.
