Australia v Georgia - World Cup LIVE! Wallabies get RWC Campaign underway with win

There has been little optimism amongst Australians for this Wallabies side, but this performance will make some believe at least. Thanks for following the match with us.

A deserved consolation try for Georgia and it comes from Gigashvili who smacks into a tackle on the line and spins over for the score. Matkava converts the try.

A good break down the left flank but an errant pass again denies a scoring opportunity.

A wonderful tackle from Nawaqanitawase denies his opposite number Tabutsadze tackling ball and chest as the Georgian was going over the try-line and forcing the ball lose.

Another try for the Australian full back. Australia were knocking at the door after a strong lineout. Eventually the ball came out and Gordon flung the ball over a defender into the hands of Donaldson. He converts his score.

The substitute no9 smashed into Nawaqanitawase forcing a knock on.

One misplaced pass and just like that Australia have extended their lead. A great burst from Niniashvilli but he spins a no-look pass backwards was gathered by Tupou who raced 30 yards and then passed wide for Donaldson to do the rest.

Challenging moments for Australia.

It looked on course curling in until some unwitting reverse swing pushed it wide.

They have come out for the second half how we expected them to play in the first. A wonderful long pass from Matkava and makeshift winger Ivanishvilli dives in at the corner.

They win a penalty inside the 22 and kick to the corner for a line out. Not looking like 14 vs 15.

Georgia took a long time to get into the game. The pace of the game was zapped after the injury to McDermott, understandably.

Modebadze now gets a yellow card for persistent offside. A really petulant offence stopping White throwing out from a stoppage.

Tackle in the air then backchat from Modebadze gives Australia a chance from a penalty near the 22.

Unsurprisingly. He is replaced by White.

A fine run from their own half with Matkava and Modebaize combining. The game is stopped as McDermott suffers a knee to the head.
