What time is it?
Georgia vs Uruguay kicks off on Sunday 29 September at 2.15pm Japan Standard Time, which is 6.15am BST.
TRY! A muscular maul and there's the bonus point!
Clean throw, clean take, clean score, with a meaty drive from the tail of the lineout with Jaba Bregvadze the man at the back to flop over for the fourth Georgian score.
Abzhandadze adds the conversion.
Georgia 26-7 Uruguay
54 minutes
Rodrigo Silva takes well in the air, and as he lands he looks up to green grass, and a couple of right-handed fends take him onwards past a pair of Georgian tacklers.
There is space to be found wide on the left as a result of Silva's carry, but a forward pass to get the ball there means Uruguay will not be able to capitalise.
55 minutes
And Georgia dismantle the Uruguay front row at the scrum to win another penalty.
57 minutes
Georgia are happy to kick the ball beyond the Uruguay defence and push them back, and then counter brilliantly from Uruguay's loose reply kick.
Wide to the left, hooker Jaba Bregvadze goes to the boot! And it nearly works, as Bregvadze hauls down his man two metres out...
TRY! And an opportunistic Giorgi Kveseladze scores!
A powerful counter-ruck from Kveseladze and a team mate leaves the ball exposed, and it is a simple pick-up and dot down for Kveseladze from all of half-a-yard.
Abzhandadze converts.
Georgia 33-7 Uruguay
Time for Gorgodzilla - Mamuka Gorgodze is brought on in the Georgia pack.
MAUL! Jaba Bregvadze let his horses take him to the line, driving the chariot to a bonus point Georgia try.
61 minutes
Leandro Leivas makes metres in midfield, squirming out of a tackle and getting back to his feet when he isn't held on the floor.
But Uruguay fail to resource a wide ruck adequately, and Zira Dzneladze pounces, stealing the ball. Gela Aprasidze's clearance is half charged down, but it goes out anyway, and Georgia will have a lineout. Time for another water break.
Milton Haig has been feeling the heat in the coaches box...
63 minutes
Back underway in Kumagaya, and Dzneladze nearly produces something special, charging some 20 yards to race on to a high kick and leap to claim it, and if he can get through the tackle of Santiago Arata there are green lights all the way.
He cannot, though, with Arata cleverly getting his shoulder on to the ball and jarring it loose.
