FULL-TIME, GEORGIA 18-18 PORTUGAL. What a sensational game of rugby, and what a dramatic last 10 minutes. Portugal were phenomenal in the second half and gave Georgia possibly one of the biggest shocks in their history. Brilliant rugby to snatch the lead away from Georgia and then to keep banging away at them… but how well did Georgia fight back in the last couple of minutes to draw level. A draw was a fair result but for Portugal it was heartbreaking not to be able to snatch it away at the end… but what pride and confidence will the nation take from this performance. A magnificent match and incredible excitement… we hope you're been as thrilled by this match as we have in bringing it to you!

Portugal gave Wales a really tough match in their opening fixture, so they will be looking to build on that with an against-the-odds win against Georgia today.

Portugal came into the World Cup on the back of a four-match unbeaten run, although their opposition were the lower-ranked USA, Kenya and Hong Kong.

Georgia skipper Merab Sharikadze will be leading his nation out for the 50th time in his career.

Georgia have two players who could earn their 50th cap today. Giorgi Kveseladze is in the starting XV and while Nodar Cheishvili is waiting on the bench for his chance.

The two teams have met in 25 Tests, with Georgia winning 18 and Portugal picking up just four wins. Three of their clashes have ended in a draw.

Georgia have played 20 matches in the Rugby World Cup, picking up five wins in the process. Their combined points tally is 262-646.

This is Georgia's sixth appearance at the Rugby World Cup, having debuted in 2003. Since making their first appearance in the World Cup they have qualified for every tournament… however, they are yet to make it out of the group stage.

This is Portugal's second appearance in the Rugby World Cup, having played first in 2007. That year they lost all four games by a combined points tally of 38-209.

This match does, however, represent possibly the only chance for either side to get points, as both are currently on 9 points so far in this competition.

In the Group opener, Georgia lost to Australia by just 35 points to 15, while Portugal's loss to Wales was by just 28 points to 8. Considering some of the really big wins we've seen, these were impressive performances by both sides.

Both teams have played one match so far in this year's World Cup, and both performing better than might have been expected.

Georgia (13th) are ranked higher than Portugal (16th) in the world rugby rankings. They're in a tough group this World Cup, with Wales, Fiji and Australia making up their rest of the group.

This is the first time the two familiar old rival will front up to one another in the World Cup. They have played 24 Tests against one another since 1997.

Good afternoon, and welcome to the Rugby World Cup Group C clash between Georgia and Portugal at the Stadium de Toulouse, in beautiful Toulouse in France.
