Italy deal blow to Georgia's Six Nations aspirations
By Tom Webber
Italy dealt a blow to Georgia's Six Nations ambitions by clinching a 28-17 victory in Florence on Saturday.
The Azzurri have taken the wooden spoon at the past three Six Nations and slipped below Georgia in the world rankings, but they came out on top in their first meeting since 2003.
Tamaz Mchedlidze scored the game's first try after Tommaso Allan slotted through a ninth-minute penalty, but Michele Campagnaro crossed to put Italy, who fell to a huge 54-7 loss to Ireland last weekend, back in front.
Giorgi Tsutskiridze was sent to the sin bin in the 28th minute but it was not until Georgia were restored to their full complement that Allan kicked a second three-pointer and Mattia Bellini powered over in the corner.
Simone Ferrari extended Italy's lead three minutes after the restart and their advantage stood at 18 points when Allan dabbed down after Soso Matiashvili's penalty.
Tommaso Benvenuti's early tackle on Beka Bitsadze earned him a yellow card and gave the visitors a penalty try, but handling errors late in the match stopped them from forcing a tense finale.

RECOVER YOUR SCAMMED MONEY WITH THE HELP OF INTELLIGENCE CYBER WIZARD
Hi. Please be wise, do not make the same mistake I had made in the past, I was a victim of bitcoin scam, I saw a glamorous review showering praises and marketing an investment firm, I reached out to them on what their contracts are, and I invested $55,000, which I was promised to get my first 15% profit in weeks, when it's time to get my profits, I got to know the company was bogus, they kept asking me to invest more and I ran out of patience then requested to have my money back, they refused to answer nor refund my funds, not until a friend of mine introduced me to a recovery company, so I reached out and after tabling my complaints, they were swift to action and within 2/³ hours I got back my funds with the due profit. I couldn't contain the joy in me. I urge you guys to reach out to INTELLIGENCE CYBER WIZARD ASSET RECOVERY SERVICE on their support contact details below.
