Georgia in 'historic' win over Tonga

    SOUNDBITE (English) Nili Latu, Tonga:

    "That's rugby, we can't look back today and say it was down to 50-50 calls. The referee has 32 cameras at the venue so I just hope they use them more often. They're there for a reason, but full credit to Georgia for the win today."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Nili Latu, Tonga:

    "The one thing we wanted to bring to the game was our set pieces. We wanted to control situations in the game and it wasn't good enough and Georgia kept putting pressure on us in our scrums and lineouts, so that's something we'll have to look at."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Milton Haig, Georgia coach:

    I don't think that we have reached the next level because I think it's still higher. When you can defeat a team like Argentina or Scotland or Samoa, then you can talk about getting to the next level. Again, it's about being consistent with your test wins. We're pretty good at winning one a year or two a year against higher ranked teams, but our goal is to compete consistently with the top eight teams in the world. How we do that and how we get there - There's still a lot of water under the bridge for that to happen. But again today was pretty historic for everybody involved in Georgian rugby and we are very, very pleased."
