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
