Autumn Nations Cup: Ireland 23 Georgia 10

Ireland scrapped to a 23 – 10 win against Georgia in the Autumn Nations Cup at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Billy Burns and Hugo Keenan both crossed, either side of a try from Georgia’s centre Giorgi Kveseladze, in an upbeat first half.

However, the visitors dug in in the second half and Ireland lost their way as the game descended into an arm wrestle.

I hadn’t much of an expectation for this game as I’d indicated in my preview though the game did unfold . . .
