What time is it?
Georgia vs Uruguay kicks off on Sunday 29 September at 2.15pm Japan Standard Time, which is 6.15am BST.
41 minutes
A couple of half-time changes for Uruguay, with Juan Echeverria on to the loosehead, and Leandro Leivas in to the back three. Georgia's kick-off is excellent, and the chase good, too. They'll have a lineout near the Uruguay 22.
42 minutes
Deftly done by Tedo Abzhandadze, a lovely little lob wedge over the top with spin to fox Rodrigo Silva, who does well, to some extent, to tap the ball back into his in goal and flop down on the ball.
Five-metre scrum for Georgia, though.
TRY! Levan Chilachava has burrowed over!
A powerful Georgian surge at the scrum with a good drive earning penalty advantage, and Otari Giorgadze's carry from the base is typically destructive to the blindside.
He drags in the firmer tackling Uruguay forwards, which allows Chilachava softer bodies to probe, and the tighthead ploughs over the line with two team mates riding shotgun.
And that's a lovely conversion, too - Tedo Abzhandadze adds two more.
Georgia 19-7 Uruguay
45 minutes
Gela Aprasidze releases another perfect box kick, and the chase is organised and effective. Uruguay biffed into touch on halfway, Georgia lineout.
46 minutes
Georgia can't build anything off first phase and stagnant ball leads to the kick, and Uruguay also indulge, with Santiago Arata finding the hands of Tedo Abzhandadze, who nearly puts Lasha Khmaladze through a gap with a delayed pass, but the full-back is just about hauled down.
Uruguay take off their two props - Facundo Gattas and Diego Arbelo are on. Gattas can play hooker, too, but he's on to the loosehead. Juan Echeverria was on incredibly briefly, by the way.
47 minutes
It changes nothing, with the Uruguay scrum still in reverse, but they don't do anything illegal, and Georgia's attempt to play away is messy and ultimately unproductive, with Juan Manuel Gaminara jackaling well to win the ball.
Kicked beyond Georgia, but they'll have an easy clearance from a penalty with new man Gattas using shoulder rather than arms to make a tackle.
Levan Chilachava is off. Giorgi Melikidze inserted on the tighthead for Georgia.
49 minutes
Georgia maul from the lineout and Alejandro Nieto is pulled up for changing his bind to move through it and get to the ball. Further along the touchline Georgia will adventure, and another lineout will be set inside the Uruguay 22.
50 minutes
DROPPED WITH THE LINE IN SIGHT! The maul is collapsed and Georgia go wide with the advantage, with Giorgi Kveseladze slipping a tackle, and getting the ball on.
A nice switch play brings Zura Dzeveladze back infield and his pass should tee up Kveseladze for a simple score, but he drops the ball! The pass was a touch behind him, but that should have been the bonus point.
Back for the penalty we come. Into the corner Georgia go.
