Wales' selection gamble offers Georgia the chance to show they belong on the Test stage

Warren Gatland rolled the dice on Thursday when he made 14 changes to the Wales side which lost to Australia in a move which has the potential to backfire spectacularly against lowly Georgia.

In what will be only their sixth outing against tier one opponents since head coach Milton Haig took over in 2011, the ambitious former Soviet Republic have their sights firmly set on shocking the rugby world at the Principality Stadium on Saturday.

Whisper it, but it not beyond the realms of possibility.

Wales wing Hallam Amos, a try-scoring replacement as Gatland’s men lost their opening Under Armour series clash with Australia last weekend, spoke of this game being Georgia’s ‘World Cup’ earlier this week.

And it is clear their opponents, who thumped Canada 54-22 in Tiblisi last Saturday when full back Soso Matiashvili chalked up 34 points including a miraculous individual try, have every intention of embarrassing their hosts.
