Watch: Try of the year candidate by Georgian fullback
By Online Editors
How is this for pace?
Georgian fullback Soso Matiashvili scored this stunner in the Lelo's 54-22 win over Canada in Tblisi over the weekend, after seemingly putting a bit too much weight on his kick ahead.
However, the ball held up millimetres from the dead ball line, allowing Matiashvili to touch down with a spectacular dive. It was one of six tries to the impressive home side, who continue to improve and press their case for inclusion in regular tests against tier one nations.

Italians defended well. Luckily the scrums went well for the ABs.
Go to commentsYou were 'valuing' the players by you saying "they are not greats" though, I was pointing out another reason why they are greats, inside the team I mean (which is more important to selections on the pitch stuff).
Someone like TJ would be bitterly disappointed he didn't play on this end of year tour. He is still good enough to come on in that France game and ensure the team get the victory (with regards to how well Ratima had been playing). At the very least this is a 'sorry you didn't get that chance' offering, he's not here to get token farewell games, he will be playing to try and prove that he should have been on the pitch last week.
The other decision to play your best over the future is really personal though so can agree with your reasoning. Just sharing a slightly different perspective. I'll have to check the ratings and see how they went.
