look to start with the intensity they showed in defeat to Australia and in patches of their victory over Argentina last week.Bu Antworten

Saturday, kick-off 14:30Rugby Park, KilmarnockScotland will be keen to end their November Test campaign with a comprehensive victory over one of rugbys minnows. Complacency hasnt been a trait of Vern Cotters team and they will look to start with the intensity they showed in defeat to Australia and in patches of their victory over Argentina last week.But there is a warning. Georgia will be buoyed having defeated Samoa 20-16 last week in Tbilisi. They are a team fighting for respect in rugby and this will be just their fourth Test against a tier one nation, outside of the World Cup, in 13 years. Scotland follow Ireland (2014), Argentina (2013) and Italy (2003) in hosting the Eastern Europeans.Georgia come into the game brimming with confidence with just one defeat since last years World Cup. They narrowly lost to Japan and during the summer they defeated Tonga, Fiji and Samoa. A big performance is expected to prove that they could belong in an expanded Six Nations.Team newsScotland have largely kept faith with the side that overcame Los Pumas last week, with Huw Jones, missing through injury, replaced by Mark Bennett at centre. Richie Gray returns at lock having missed last weeks game through concussion. The other three changes see Ross Ford come in at hooker and Rob Harley and Ryan Wilson come into the back row.Georgia make just one change with Giorgi Aptsiauri coming in on the wing to replace Giorgi Koshadze while there is one positional switches with Tamaz Mchedlidze moving from the wing to centre.Scotland: Hogg, Maitland, Bennett, Dunbar, Seymour, Russell, Laidlaw; Dell, Ford, Fagerson, R Gray, J Gray, Harley, Watson, Wilson.Replacements: Brown, Allan, Low, Gilchrist, Barclay, Price, Horne, Hughes.Georgia: Kvirikashvili, Aptsiauri, Sharikadze, Mchedlidze, Todua, Malaguradze, Lobzhanidze; Nariashvili, Bregvadze, Chilachava, Mikautadze, Nemsadze, Kolelishvili, Gorgodze, Bitsadze.Replacements: Alkhazashvili, Asieshvili, Kubriashvili, Lomidze, Tkhilaishvili, Begadze, Tsiklauri, Sutiashvili.Key head-to-headBoth of Georgias tries last week came courtesy of their pack, which destroyed the Samoan scrum. They will hope that can be a launchpad for another upset in Scotland. Front row Levan Chilachava was immense for Georgia last week and made a 20-metre break which should have resulted in a try.He, and the rest of the Georgia pack will be up against it against a Scottish side led by Lions candidate Jonny Gray. Their win over Argentina was what they needed as preparation for this weekend. It will be a challenge, but one which the Scottish pack should overcome.Key stats*This will be the second time the two sides have met, with Scotland beating Georgia 15-6 at the 2011 Rugby World Cup.*Georgia, who are 12th in the World Rugby rankings, have never beaten tier one opposition, playing 15 Tests and losing them all.Weather It will be cold and cloudy at Rugby Park on Saturday, but the fog should make way for sunshine by kick-off.PredictionScotland should have far too much fire power to down the Georgian minnows. While victories over the Pacific Island teams prove theyre improving, competing with a Southern Hemisphere powerhouse is still some way off. Scotland have built competition in places, and Mark Bennett is one who will be keen to make the most of his opportunity. Only a comprehensive win will be good enough for Scotland to lead into the 2017 Six Nations.Scotland by 25 Custom Jerseys Clearance .

A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. The year of the underdog keeps going from strength to strength.After Leicester City won the Premier League, Wales is now in the European Championship semifinals.Yes, Wales.The country of 3 million people that hasnt played in a major tournament since a goal from 17-year-old Pele put it out of the 1958 World Cup will now get to measure itself against Cristiano Ronaldos Portugal.It did it the hard way: beating Belgiums so-called golden generation of players -- again failing to live up to that billing -- 3-1 in a pulsating match on Friday.Here are five things to know from an astounding result in Lille.---SIGN HIM UP!Hal Robson-Kanus goal that gave Wales a 2-1 lead would have made Johan Cruyff, the master of the head-spinning turn, proud.And this from a forward who is out of contract at his club, Reading from Englands second-tier Championship.Quick, boss, sign him up!Collecting Aaron Ramseys cross from the right, Robson-Kanu sent three Belgium players -- defenders Thomas Meunier and Jason Denayer and Marouane Fellaini -- the wrong way with his hip-swiveling turn on a dime, dragging the ball around with him with his left foot.Having made that space for himself, he then coolly fired past Belgium `keeper Thibaut Courtois, again with his left, with all the ruthlessness of Lionel Messi.Robson-Kanu also scored Wales winner in a 2-1 victory in its opening European Championship game against Slovakia.Surely, hell not be without a club for long.---LAME LUKAKUWhile Robson-Kanu put away his chances, Romelu Lukaku squandered them.Among the defining images of Belgiums hot-and-cold Euro 2016 campaign will be the Everton striker with a pained look on his face, ruing another missed opportunity. His failure to have a big impact up front was a fatal weakness in a team bursting with the creative talent of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne.The striker should have scored after seven minutes in Lille when, loosely marked by Wales captain Ashley Williams, he didnt react sharply enough to an inviting ball off a corner.Early in the second half, with Wales under sustained pressure, Lukaku found space in the Wales backline between Williams and James Chester and had time and space to power Meuniers cross past `keeper Wayne Hennessey. Instead, he mistimed his jump and headed the ball wide.Lame.At the other end for Wales, unheralded second-half substitute Sam Vokes showed Belgium how it is done: His perfectly judged glancing header off Chris Gunters cross secured the come-from-behind win for Wales.---WALES SHOWED CHARACTERRadja Nainggolans strike from 30 meters gave Belgium a deserved 1-0 leead after 13 minutes.dddddddddddd It was a hammer blow for the Welsh and the disappointment was etched into the face of its star, Gareth Bale.But the Welsh didnt wilt. If anything, falling behind galvanized Chris Colemans team. In a sustained passage of attacking play, they piled players forward.Belgiums players made the mistake of falling back, curbing the forward momentum that had so rattled and stretched Wales in the opening minutes.That Neil Taylor, a defender, nearly got Wales equalizer was a measure of how many Welsh players surged forward. Taylors shot off a cross from Ramsey drew a fabulous reflex double-handed save from Courtois.Six minutes later, Wales efforts paid off, with Williamss headed equalizer.It was deserved.---GOOD NEWS FOR GUNNERSArsenal fans will have liked what they saw from Ramsey, their midfielder, in his Wales shirt against Belgium.Easily recognizable in central midfield with his peroxide blonde hair, Ramsey was the go-between for many of Wales forward forays. He played a key role in Wales equalizer and in Robson-Kanus goal that gave Wales the lead in the 55th minute.For Wales first goal, Ramsey picked out Robson-Kanu on the right wing. The forward muscled past Denayer and won a corner. Ramsey took the kick and it was perfect, landing in the danger area just in front of Courtois.Admittedly, Belgiums marking was woeful, leaving Williams free to run in and stoop his header in.After a surging run, Ramsey also picked out Robson-Kanu with a cross for his goal.If he plays with such vigor and style for Arsenal next season, manager Arsene Wenger will be rubbing his hands in glee.--A COSTLY VICTORY?Unfortunately for Wales, Ramsey will miss the semifinal against Portugal after picking up his second yellow card for a second-half handball. The loss will deprive Wales of its most prolific passer against Belgium.Also suspended will be defender Ben Davies.On the bright side: When Wales players came home from the 1958 World Cup, they were greeted with no fanfare at all, according to Paul Peters book, The Road to 1958. When they arrived by train in Swansea, a ticket collector asked them if theyd been on holiday.After their history-making exploits in Wales first European Championship, there is zero danger of its players enjoying such anonymity this time.---John Leicester is an international sports columnist for The Associated Press.
