Georgia vs USA Preview


Georgia should be too strong for the USA, but I don’t expect a 50-point margin as we saw last week. I’m backing Georgia to win by less than 18 points.

  • Georgia beat Romania by 50 points last week.
  • USA lost their last match to Portugal y 26 points.

Head to Head


These sides have not met since 2017. On that occasion, Georgia won a tight encounter 21-20.

Georgia Form


Georgia are considered the strongest Tier Two rugby nation currently and for good reason. There has also been a push for them to join the tier-one ranks in recent years.

Last week Georgia thrashed Romania 56-6 on home soil. The USA, their opponents this week, have not qualified for the World Cup but should provide a sterner test.

Georgia Injuries & News


Georgia will make changes as they look to give their full squad a run ahead of the World Cup.

USA Form


USA quite disappointingly didn’t qualify for the 2023 Rugby World Cup after narrowly losing out to Chile in qualifying. 

These warm-up games provide them the opportunity to get some youngsters involved with little pressure for results. The USA defeated Romania a couple of weeks ago although they suffered a 46-20 loss to Portugal last weekend.

USA Injuries & News


USA should be making several changes. I expect them to be at full strength for this clash.

Verdict

USA are tipped to get within 18 points of Georgia.
