Georgian national rugby team finished World Rugby Team 2011 as worthy as it started. After strong fight with Scotland and England, they won over Romania and there was danger that “The Lelos” would be physically and psychologically tired against Argentina. But Georgian national rugby team proved once again that they respect any of the opponents and will do their best for victory in any kind of situation. Georgian team showed big resistance against Argentina, which took the third place in the previous WRC. Till 68 minutes Georgians won over Argentina 7:5, but Argentina is more experienced and as result managed to beat Georgians 25:7.  
Totally, Georgians played in defensive line very well in compare with the teams, which took the 5^th-4^th places. Georgia has better results than Italy (95) which took the third place and Tonga (98) and even France, which went through the quarter-final – 96 points! Unfortunately the same cannot be said about offensive line. Georgian team gained 48 points and according to it, Georgia has better result than Romania, The US and Namibia. Romania and Georgia scored the same amount of tries (3-3).
After the match against Argentina foreign agencies reported that Georgians played undisciplined way and 17 penalties were used as a fact of it. 4-5 of these penalties are fantasy, especially in the first half.  
After winning the first half (7:5),“The Lelos” could not manage to do anything against the referee and the opponent and finally lost 7:25.
After the time-out the referee set such penalty kick in favor of Argentina, that they did not have any problem in scoring. South Americans activated and scored two tries. Argentina could not manage to gain premier point, but in spite of it Argentina is on the second place and will play against New Zealand.
In spite of failure, Georgian team deserves appraisal. Contepomi, member of Argentina national team made the following statement after the match:” Georgian team really played amazingly and we could not find a way how to beat them. In the second half total mobilization was necessary for beating the rival”.
Juan José Imhoff:” Georgian team played very well and as for us, we lost points due to the mistakes”.
Ilia Zedgemidze made the following comment:” our team played very well at WRC. Argentina is very good team and playing against them is always very difficult.  We had lack of experience at the end of the match and that’s why Argentina managed to beat us. I would like to thank fans, who was the 16^th player and always supported us to lay well”.
Davit Kubriashvili made different comment:” I am disappointed. We played very well, but final result does not reflect what was underway on the field. At the end of the match our opponent scored two pitiful tries and as a result we are very disappointed”. Richie Dixon, head coach of Georgian national team is also disappointed:” I am very disappointed with this result.  We were not given result, what we deserved. We own advantages, but final score is in favor of Argentina”.
