26th September Rugby pick

The Rugby world cup hasnt been kind to me so far from a betting perspective. Maybe i was a little too loyal to Ireland's hopes by backing them repeatedly. Whatevers gone wrong there is something serious. They have gone from genuine semi contenders to not even making it out of the group stages. Unthinkable for a team with such high (if a little bit unrealistic) hopes coming into this tournament. However all this aside the match im looking at is

Georgia V Namibia
Georgia have impressed me so far, they should have beaten Ireland and gave the Argies a good game before tiring in the second half. They have played an attractive brand of Rugby at stages and look to be very physically strong in the forwards and have some worthwhile talent in the backline.
Namibia in my opinion have been the weakest team so far in the tournament. They have been well beaten in all 3 of their matches to date (63-3 against Argentina..87-10 against France and a 32 -17 defeat to Ireland)
Hard to see them doing much against a heavy hitting Georgian pack.
These two have played once this year with the Georgians winning 26-18 but i think they have shown better form and progressed as a team in the last month. It will be a tough game, not pretty but Georgia to pull through by about 17 points is my verdict.
This is the fight not to finish last and i think it will be Namibia who are left with the wooden spoon.


PICK
Georgia - 12 (2 at stanjames) 4 points


The above bookie price is cracking value compared to most other prices available, i cant see it lasting so stanjames is the place to get on if you want to take this pick.
