The highly anticipated Autumn Internationals clash between Georgia and Japan is set to take place this Saturday, November 22nd, at 7 a.m. ET at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in Tbilisi, Georgia, and will be streamed live in the united States exclusively on FloRugby and the FloSports app. This early-morning test match pits two enterprising sides against each other, both eager to build momentum as the year draws to a close.
Georgia, currently ranked 11th in the world, will look to leverage its renowned physicality in the forward pack and a staunch defensive structure that has been instrumental in its recent rise. “Georgia has consistently demonstrated a commitment to powerful, set-piece-driven rugby,” noted one rugby analyst.Tbilisi is expected to provide a formidable atmosphere for Japan, as the home crowd rallies behind the Lelos. As of November 21st, Georgia has yet to announce its starting XV or replacements, promising a strategic reveal closer to kickoff.
Japan, ranked 13th, will counter with a dynamic approach centered on pace, creativity, and precision in attack. The Japanese lineup features a potent backline and a mobile, disciplined forward pack. Naoto Saito and Seungsin Lee will form the halfback partnership, orchestrating an attack that includes Tomoki Osada and Dylan Riley in the midfield, with Kazuma Ueda and Sam Greene poised to make an impact in the back three. Warner Dearns will anchor the second row, while Tyler Paul leads the loose forwards, providing a balance of size and speed. This contrast in styles promises a compelling matchup.
