Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage from today’s game as Georgia take on Romania at Arena Manawatu in Palmerston North

There's the final whistle. Georgia have sent Romania home on the back of a defeat but they will go into their clash with Argentina with some confidence

Substitute Vasil Kakovin is very nearly away for the try but spills the ball in the final tackle, despite not originally going to ground, and that's the chance over and done with

PENALTY GEORGIA! 25-9! Substitute Malkhaz Urjukashvili re-establishes Georgia's 16 point lead as he adds another penalty. There's just three minutes left on the clock now

Romania are desperately looking to put something together to finish this game on a high but their ambitions are slightly above their skill level and they lose the ball ...

PENALTY ROMANIA! 22-9! Straight from the re-start Georgia concede the penalty for not rolling away and Vlaicu adds a long-range penalty to Romania's tally

PENALTY GEORGIA! 22-6! Kvirikashvili adds another three points to Georgia's tally after they Romania knock the ball on at the back of the maul. That should be the final nail in the coffin for Romania now ...

Georgia get themselves out of trouble and clear upfield to the halfway line ...

Florin Surugiu finds Lemnaru, who chips up the wing instead of running out of space. They make yards into Georgian territory ... Romania will have an attacking lineout just inside the Georgian 22

A lot of scrappy play in the midfield before a couple of re-set scrums ends up with Romania turning the ball over ...

Another missed kick from Kvirikashvili after Romania are penalised and the scores remain the same. This has been a bruising encounter and both sides are beginning to look very tired

CONVERSION GEORGIA! 19-6! An easy kick for Kvirikashvili, from just to the right of the posts, maximises the score for Georgia who are firmly in control of this clash now

TRY GEORGIA! 17-6! Mamuka Gorgodze is the man that eventually gets over the line after 16 phases from Georgia! He picks up the ball in front of the posts, spots the gap to the right and forces all 115kg of himself over the line

Jaba Bregvadze this time is the one to break the line for Georgia as he forces his way through ... Mamuka Gorgodze ... Kvirikashvili ... Tedo Zibzibadze ... Georgia are just 10m short now ...

A big collision in the air between Iulian Dumitras and his opposite number Lasha Khmaladze. Dumitras has stayed down and looks to be in a fair amount of pain and there'll be a delay while he receives some treatment

Kvirikashvili really is vital for Georgia, touching the ball in pretty much every phase, before Maisuradze breaks through the Romanian line ...

Right from the re-start Georgia concede a penalty on the halfway line when Kvirikashvili knocks on after a chip and chase attempt. But Dumbrava can't land his kick either as he pulls his wide to the right. The scores remain 12-6 Georgia

Kvirikashvili misses his first kick of the night, having looked brilliant in the first half. But this time he just pulls his kick from in front of the posts wide of the left upright and Georgia fail to further extend their lead

The attack is on for Romania as they approach the 22 but a pass from Dumbrava for Dumitras goes astray, the fullback knocking on instead of collecting and it will be a scrum instead ...

Stefan Eugen Ciuntu was having a little trouble before the end of the first half with his right ankle and has clearly decided he can't continue as Constantin Gheara has come out in his place for this second half

Romania get the second half underway - their final 40 minutes of World Cup rugby in 2011
