Scotland vs Georgia preview

Having beaten two Tier 1 nations last year, Georgia have been tipped to spring an upset or two at the forthcoming Rugby World Cup, but before that they take on Scotland at Murrayfield today in what serves as the final warm-up game for both teams.

Los Lelos have made mincemeat of Romania and USA this month, but today's clash represents a major step up in quality. Gregor Townsend's men took a weekend off after splitting a fantastically entertaining two-game series with France and, in their first game since the World Cup squad announcement, they'll fancy laying down a marker.

Sharing a group with reigning champions South Africa and World Cup favourites Ireland means that Scotland cannot afford to go into the tournament undercooked, so despite witnessing France star Romain Ntamack pick up a serious knee injury against them a fortnight ago, Townsend will field his first-choice personnel in Edinburgh and hope against hope that they come through the game unscathed. 

It could make for a nervy 80 minutes. Georgia have developed a reputation for being one of the most bruising teams in rugby, as the USA would testify after losing two players to injury in the 22-7 defeat to Levan Maisashvili's men a week ago, in which electric winger Akaki Tabutsadze, hooker Shalva Mamukashvili and fullback Davit Niniashvili all crossed the whitewash.

Ben White has recovered from an ankle injury to start at scrum-half for Scotland, while Finn Russell is in the No.10 jersey and Jamie Ritchie wears the captain's armband. Ollie Smith has been handed one final chance to stake a claim for the full-back role vacated by Stuart Hogg, ahead of Blair Kinghorn.

Shalva Mamukashvili will lead his nation out on the occasion of his 100th cap, ahead of skipper Merab Sharikadze, who isn't far off the milestone himself. Maisashvili has made multiple tweaks to his teams, with Misha Nariashvili, Lado Chachanidze and Mikheil Gachechiladze amongst those stepping into the starting lineup.
