Result: England 41-10 Georgia

England continued their unbeaten start to their World Cup campaign with a 41-10 win over Georgia in Dunedin.

Martin Johnson's men made a fast start, and despite Georgia's territorial dominance, found themselves 14 points ahead after 20 minutes thanks to two tries from Shontayne Hape.

Georgia fly-half Merab Kvirikashvili had a number of opportunities to close the gap, missing two penalties and then scoring on his third attempt, before Toby Flood's penalty allowed England to retake their 14-point lead.

Dimitri Basilaia's last-minute, first-half try kept Georgia in the game. However, England again retook a 14-point lead as they scored soon after the interval.

Kvirikashvili continued to struggle, missing another couple of penalties in the second half, which allowed both Manu Tuilagi and Chris Ashton to further extend England's lead with a couple of tries, the last of which came in the final seconds.
