Georgia have been at the top of European teams outside the 6 Nations. They deserve a go in the 6 or 7 Nations. The consistant quality of the team and passion of the fans deserves it. The game must be allowed to be spread amongst more countries. Not just for money for big 8 or 9 teams. Give them a sporting chance! from an Irishman
Well said and oh so true. And congratulations to Ireland for knocking us over at home. Well deserved and and a long time in the making. It is what world rugby needs.
Yup.....I agree with you. It's either include them in the 6 nations or form a B level 6 Nations with the winner going to the A series 6 Nations and the loser of the 6 Nations being relegated to the B series.
I'd like to see something similar to the continental cups that happen between the soccer world cups come into the rugby schedule. A northern and southern hemisphere cup with qualifiers for the smaller nations. That would give them, and the sport, far more opportunity to grow. It would take away from the 6 Nations and Rugby Champoinship, but those could be still continue in a shortened format, as they often do in a world cup year. This gives even more of the smaller rugby nations exposure and something to work towards. And more professional exposure for teams just out of the top ten, like Georgia and many of the Island Nations. There will be a lot of politics and contracts etc to sort out, but I do feel the status quo is in need of a shake up...SA moving our franchise rugby to Europe may lead to some fresh thinking. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Hermano, Why'd you guys have to do that to my beloved Scotland? In the last minute aswell!!! Lol 😂. Thanks to the Argentinian team and fans for a great series of tests. Well played.
Much closer game than I would have anticipated. Kudos to Portugal, they brought a real battle. I really liked how they unlocked the d line in the 5-15 channel for their try. It shows they have the adaptability as a team, as well as individual quality.
Another great show of heart and skill from both teams. World rugby is looking good. The smaller nations are catching up. It makes me very happy that world rugby is strong. VIVA!
Portugal and Georgia should be in a 8 nations, they have regularly been pushed lower tier 1 teams like Japan and Italy, if given more games against tier 1 opposition, these lot could start to become a force, would also be better for Italy as well as they are guaranteed competitive games and it would boost their morale if they win. Think it would overall lead to a stronger NH
@@speak_your_truth. Went to Tblisi for Georgia v Japan in late 2016. Full stadium with a very passionate crowd! Far better atmosphere than most tests in NZ to be honest.
Nicely played Georgia and Portugal. Both countries rugby is coming along.....I am beginning to think it might be time for Georgia to join the 6 nations as a 7th team.
Les géorgiens sont entrain de devenir meilleur en arrière. Ou comme on dit en joueur de piano, dans les années 90. Mais sinon très content de voir la Géorgie à ce niveau
congratulations to Portugal for keeping the scoresheet close vs a team that defeated Italy and has players from Racing92, Lyon, Toulon tier2 nations need more exposure to tier1 opposition, this will only help the sport
I’ve been a fan of Georgia for a while now. But they are looking really good. Wish they would get a shot at the 6 nations. I believe they can beat Italy. Some of their players probably even deserve spots on URC teams which would make them even better in my opinion. Rugby should be more like soccer. Clubs should be willing to look for talent form each nation, not just the “big rugby” nations.
There's a lot of justified hype about Georgia but Portugal look well organised and very competitive. European rugby is in good shape and surely the Six Nations should have two divisions with promotion and relegation.
@@eamonlyons8318 that might be the way to go. If one of the home nations or France has a bad year it would damage the game for them to be relegated. How do you choose between Portugal, Spain and Romania for 8th spot though? And how do you allow other nations to move up without aspiration?
It's never gonna happen why ? Oh thats easy the six nations are a private tournament where literally all 6 of the countries would have to agree to allow either more countries in or a relegation system hence to say Italy will not be keen on the relegation part see if anything it's more likely italy get booted out of the six nations then any new countries what should happen is a B Tier tournament involving Russia Georgia Romania Spain Portugal Belgium I just went off the 7-12 best countries based on the World rankings
They've had good games and wins but actually in the past in Georgia they've won a lot more convincingly vs likes of Portugal and Spain. Again Spain earlier this year was competitive away in Georgia. The others are showing more steel and the Georgians are not walking over them so easily even at home. Georgia have really dominated the second division in Europe for more than a decade as Romania has fallen away a bit. But that dominance might just be starting to be increasingly challenged. Finally some others like Portugal and Spain look like they are catching up.
Looking at how portugual played makes it fairly confident about them advancing over the USA. But the eagles I do think have a slight advantage with their backs.
Looking at how they threw 19-0 lead when it mattered most, not to mention other aspects of the game they are terrible at, Portugal will win by a large margin
Sometimes i think that Portugal could have a better future in testa than spain. WR should support nationa that can gathers 10000 in an stadium in a test
Exactly what I was thinking though looking at the replay there was a Georgian player tracking back and there is a chance the inside Portuguese player might've been hauled down before the line.
We're seeing the growth of bigger crowds in a lot of the T2 nations games this year. Georgia has always got big crowds against main rivals and some of the better teams to visit but got a good crowd v Portugal too. Both Portugal and Spain have had good crowds, Chile too with games v Scotland A and the RWCQ v USA in Santiago, even with the appalling weather for that game.
An inside ball would've leveled the game. Awful decision by the Portuguese Ten. Still a good game. Six Nations should be expanded to 8 Nations with Georgia and Romania.
@@tomaso672 ? Results are speaking. Portugal-Italy was basically a draw. Georgia beated both Italy and Portugal about the same score. Italy and Portugal are now about the same tier.

Great to see that other nations are picking up their rugby skills
Now is time for world rugby to stop with the caste system once and for all...the game has to open up
They really do!
Apart from the top 5 the game is afoot
Great to watch Georgia play, plenty of power and lots of finesse.

Keep up putting 2-3 tiers nations highlights. Love it.

Very true...the shake up is coming . Such good rugby coming from the smaller rugby nations. Watch out everybody, they are coming
Always good to see the REC teams in action
Excelentes relatos
Thank you.
Like the crowd ,spirit and support...🤗
Portuguese 13 should have passed inside in order the try was scored nearer the posts.
I kept shouting pass... Pass.... PASS.
Exactly what I was thinking though looking at the replay there was a Georgian player tracking back and there is a chance the inside Portuguese player might've been hauled down before the line.
Portugal very good play
Good game Portugal , Georgia is gd now
Well done both side’s great game of rugby.
Top game from us Portugal, but you can tell we missed Samuel MArques, our number 9. WE Portuguese are nothing but confident with this team
Georgia on the way up,
Would love to see Portugal vs Italy....
Love seeing such a big crowd for this
