    Wales 36-14 Georgia

    Georgian front row Guram Gogichashvili trundles forward, handing off Welsh defenders as he goes and each step is cheered by the crowd.

    The maroon shirts go through the phases before Gogichashvili hauls himself back to his feet and knocks on in midfield.

    Unlucky.

    Good offloading from the Georgians, so strong into contact and they get over the line. They deserve that, they've really come back at Wales.

    Converted try - Wales 36-14 Georgiapublished at 67 mins

    Levan Chilachava (con Tedo Abzhandadze)

    That is the loudest cheer of the night and Georgia hit back through Levan Chilachava.

    They have saved their best till last with some great offloads and running rugby deep in the Welsh half.

    The replacement prop picks up from the base of the ruck and dives over the bodies on the ground to score his side's second try.

    Tedo Abzhandadze makes no mistake from the tee.

    Wales have got two of the best in the world at scrum-half on the support line. Justin Tipuric puts George North away and it's great vision and awareness to use his right peg and put it into midfield. Great pace from the young replacement scrum-half.

    Finally that little bit of class and speed makes the difference.

    Wales needed that, it's been very scrappy. This is where the top sides tend to really open it up and the floodgates open.

    Tomos Williams

    Pass. Pass. Kick. Try.

    Wales throw two passes inside their own half before George North kicks through for Tomos Williams to collect and dot down under the posts.

    Dan Biggar has put that early miss behind him and he adds the conversion with ease.

    Wales go left and then right but Georgia steal possession and kick long, for Wales to run it straight back.

    Wales win the penalty at the scrum and Dan Biggar gains them several yards with a thumping kick into touch.

    The red shirts will want to launch their backs again from this platform.

    We've just seen why Wales won a Grand Slam. They were under all sorts of pressure but look how quickly Wales reformed defensively even though they'd lost the gainline.

    Most teams once the gainline is broken will hold back and drift off defence but Wales have won 30 metres and the turnover. Superb.

    Penalty to Wales as Alun Wyn Jones does what Alun Wyn Jones does best.

    He wraps his big arms around man and ball and holds them both long enough for the referee to blow his whistle.

    Scrum to Wales.

    We are just having a brief pause in proceedings as Jake Ball's nose is stuffed with cotton buds.

    Wales' World Cup campaign is an hour old and they will be pleased with their work so far.

    Problem with the lower tier teams is they rarely get the opportunity to test themselves against the best. Look at the improvements over the past 10 years of Italy and Argentina. In order to make the World Cup more competitive, there needs to be a change for the lower tiers.

    Jaba Bregvadze returns to the field after his yellow card and Georgia are back to full compliment.

    This is what you expected from Georgia - to make it a real arm wrestle for Wales, which they have in the second half but in the first half it was non-existent.

    They've stood up and held their hand up in the first fifteen. They're not going to win this one but they've got to put a marker down.

    Right on cue.

    Elliot Dee is stripped and ready and he enters the fray to take Ken Owens' place.

    Warren Gatland will want to wrap his hooker in bubble wrap before the Australia match.

    The Welsh hooker is back to his feet and takes his place at the front of a scrum which Georgia win.

    Tedo Abzhandadze, who is only 20, clears his line from the penalty.

    I think they may take Ken Owens off here with the game almost certainly in the bag.

    There is some concern here as Ken Owens is down receiving treatment.

    He will be a big miss if this is serious...

    We've played just under an hour and it's the first time I've heard "Land of my Father" from the stands.

    Admittedly, there aren't many people singing but it's a recognisable tune.

    Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards can be charming, but he can be quite intimidating when he needs to be too. You certainly wouldn't want to cross him.

    You'd think he'll be slightly miffed Wales have conceded a try to squander a possible clean sheet.

    Wales are penalised for not releasing on the ground as Guram Gogichashvili makes a nuisance of himself.

    The crowd let out a cheer as the referee blows for a penalty and they are urging the Georgians on.
