Georgia coach Malkhaz Cheishvili aims to lead his side to their first-ever World Cup win against Namibia in Lens With the rain pouring down in Lens, Merab Kvirikashvili gives Georgia a 6-0 lead with two penalties Namibia struggle for possession and territory and cannot find a way through the Georgian defence The game is pretty attritional and the first try comes on 37 minutes when Georgia hooker Akvsenti Giorgadze bundles over Georgia seal the game when left wing Irakli Machkhaneli fells Heini Bock with a huge tackle, gathers the ball and races over And a final interception try from outside centre Davit Kacharava puts the gloss on a 30-0 win for Georgia In St Etienne, another bottom-of-the-table clash sees Samoa take on USA Samoa make a brisk and bristling start and right wing Lome Fa'atau scores after five minutes Four minutes later, giant left wing Alesana Tuilagi crashes over as Samoa threaten a rout And when lock Kane Thompson dives over just before the break, all thoughts turn to a cricket score But USA's flying right wing Takudzwa Ngwenya hits back in the second half as the Eagles enjoy a purple patch Kicker Mike Hercus claws back a few more points as USA grow in confidence But Samoa stay just clear enough to render USA flanker Louis Stanfill's try at the death irrelevant
