HIGHLIGHTS | Scotland v Georgia

6 years ago by Ultimate Rugby

A completely one sided affair as Scotland hammer Georgia as Murrayfield. Scotland too a 17 point lead into halftime, but they were far from their best. They turned it around in the second half as they put Georgia under relentless pressure. Georgia struggled to get out their half, despite scoring their first ever Murrayfield try. The defended for the majority of the game as they could not contain Scotland attack and in particular, the rolling maul. It was the perfect warm up for the Scots as they take on Wales next week in the Six Nations
