That is all we have from Montpellier this afternoon. Thanks for tuning into Tribe's rugby coverage. Until next time, I'm Dan Gread saying goodbye for now.
Georgia will be disappointed with their efforts this afternoon. They were outplayed by the All Blacks XV for large parts of this match and gave away silly penalties and made errors in key parts of the field. Jalagonia was their best on show. The big number eight was impressive with some bruising runs but had little else in support from his side throughout the match. They will have plenty of work on throughout the upcoming week as they look towards a key match with Italy next weekend.
Once again it was a strong performance from Kirifi up front. He was sensational against the Georgian. Jacomb had a fantastic match running the cutter. He proved that he is very much up to the international standard and led his side confidently around the park. Ah Kuoi was brilliant in the line outs, disrupting the Georgians more than once. Higgins showed plenty of promise in the midfield, while Naholo was strong out wide. That ends a solid two match tour for the All Blacks XV as they back up their win over Munster with a strong performance this afternoon.
The All Blacks XV come away with the spoils in Montpellier as they defeat Georgia 31-13 in a strong performance against a much bigger side. It was a messy second half at times, but tries to Eklund and Slater put the game beyond doubt for the visitors as Georgia struggled for any momentum in that second half.
80+1'
Perandize feeds the scrum and Georgia spread it through the midfield. Kveseladze gets to the outside of a man and is back over his 10 metre line. Parker holds up a man and Georgia aren't able to recycle it! That will do us as the All Blacks XV come away with the win!
80'
Georgia once again have a kick charged on their 22 as the All Blacks XV get their hands back on it. They work it forward on the 22! Long ball outside on the left from Jacomb for Naholo! He looks to get around the outside and puts it down in the contact with Niniashvili. Georgia will have the scrum 15 out from their line on their right edge as time ticks away.
79'
Slater throws to Holland in the middle. The pass breaks down in the middle for the All Blacks XV. They manage to shift it back on the left with Ah Kuoi and Fihaki. The play sets on the All Blacks XV 10 as Hotham goes over the top. Naholo chases but Georiga bring it down with Tabutsadze and he carts it forward on the 10. Turned over as Stevenson smashes it downfield.
78'
Georgia attack on the All Blacks XV 10. They rumble forward as Kellow looks to get his hands on it. Georgia spin it away to the right but they can't hang onto it again as it finds the touch line on halfway for the All Blacks XV throw.
77'
Jalagonia brings down the line out! There is a stab through in the midfield as Hotham goes back and dots it down in goal! They come back for a free kick in the line out as the throw wasn't straight! Touch isn't found up the left by Jacomb and Georgia are back with on the All Blacks XV 10.
