81'FULL TIME ANALYSIS

Here's what Rob Bartlett - ESPN's man at the Millennium - had to say about the game:

"The second half, unfortunately, did not live up to the intensity of the first - but it did give us an indication of New Zealand's vulnerabilities. The defending champions continued to look seriously undercooked and a potential quarterfinal against Ireland or France suddenly looks intriguing. This side genuinely looks beatable; Kieran Read added a try just past the halfway point before Julian Savea completed his hat trick and Malakai Fekitoa got in on the act late on - but there was little to write home about in between. For Georgia, victory was always beyond them, but their marvellous defence continued to frustrate and annoy the All Blacks, forcing Steve Hansen's side into a flurry of silly handling errors. Their pressure chasing the ball was nothing short of immense - at times, they made rugby's mystical magicians appear ordinary. Milton Haig will certainly be the happier man tonight."
