Saxons finale looms but Kidney’s charges keep Georgia in mind

THE mere mention of Georgia is enough to conjure up recurring nightmares for Irish rugby followers who witnessed the lowest ranked side at the 2007 World Cup come within minutes of beating Ireland in the pool stages on a balmy evening in Bordeaux almost two years ago.

The sands of time have shifted considerably since then; enough that Ireland’s ‘A’ side should encounter little difficulty against the eastern European outfit in their final pool game of the 2009 Churchill Cup at

Infinity Park, Glendale, Colorado tomorrow (kick-off 10.30pm Irish time/live on Sky Sports 2).
