6NB: Georgia Go Marching On

Georgia, top of the log, did the expected and comfortably beat Germany who are bottom of the log.

Georgia’s domination of the “Six Nations B” supports the argument of promotion-relegation for the Six Nations.

The close encounter was between Russia and Romania up in northern Romania. The Russians scored four tries while Romania’s only try was a penalty try, but the Oaks won by just two points.

After last year’s defeat by Belgium which had the unhappy consequence of excluding Spain from this year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan with much arguing about the refereeing, Spain feel vindicated by this huge victory.
