Brilliant

This is what rugby is all about.

It may look like Georgia were on the receiving end of an absolute hammering in the Rugby World Cup on Friday night but the 43-10 scoreline is a little deceiving.

The true story of the game is that the Northern hemisphere nation fought hard throughout the entire match and represented their country well.

Flanker Mamuka Gorgodze was the standout performer for the Georgians, personifying their never say die spirit. His efforts earned him the man-of-the-match accolade just before the ref blew the full time whistle.

His reaction to hearing the announcement that he had won the award against one of the biggest teams in world rugby makes for brilliant viewing. Check it out below.
