Georgia change one for England

Dixon: Sticking to the tried and tested

Georgia coach Richie Dixon has made just one change to the team that will face England on Sunday.

The Lelos put in a creditable performance in their opening World Cup game, going down 15-6 to Scotland on Wednesday.

As a result, Dixon has stuck with the lion’s share of the team that turned out in Invercargill.

The only change comes in the pack where Ilia Zedginidze comes in for Levan Datunashvili in the second row.

Georgia: 15 Revaz Gigauri, 14 Irakli Machkhaneli, 13 David Kacharava, 12 Tedo Zibzibadze, 11 Alexander Todua, 10 Merab Kvirikashvili, 9 Irakli Abuseridze (capt), 8 Dimitri Basilaia, 7 Mamuka Gorgodze, 6 Shalva Sutiashvili, 5 Vakhtang Maisuradze, 4 Ilia Zedginidze, 3 David Kubriashvili, 2 Jaba Bregvadze, 1 David Khinchagishvili.
Replacements: 16 Akvsenti Giorgadze, 17 David Zirakashvili, 18 Levan Datunashvili, 19 Giorgi Chkhaidze, 20 Bidzina Samkharadze, 21 Givi Berishvili, 22 Lasha Khmaladze.
