Stereotypes suggest that this will be a massive physical clash and nothing much besides. That is unlikely to happen. Surely this time England will want the backs running, especially clever Ben Foden and try-hungry Chris Ashton.

And surely England's loose forwards will be more creative and effective than the big Georgians and so give the backs lots of generous ball. In fact the attacking may start  as close as the halfbacks - lively, fast Nick Youngs and cunning Toby Flood.

It could end up an expansive game.

England should also be much the fresher of the two. They slammed it out with the Pumas on Saturday while the Georgians played Scotland on Wednesday, four days fewer than England. That is a bit hard on the Lelos.

But the Lelos are tough men. Their spirit will be willing but as the game wears on their flesh may weaken just a bit as their bodies protest at such a short recovery period.

England will win. It's so hard to see where Georgia can beat England - not in the tight five, the back three or anywhere along the backline. The Lelos' smaller pack will try manfully but are unlikely to make much of an impression on England.

Goalkicking could be interesting in the enclosed stadium where climate is not a factor but where both England and Argentina kicked woefully when they met in their one-try match.

Players to watch: For England the two with most try-scoring potential - Ben Foden and Chris Ashton. Perhaps Manu Tuilagi may come more out of his shell this time. In the pack one would expect a strong performance from Matt Stevens and it is interesting to see how ageing Simon Shaw does. Of the Georgians it may well be two loose forwards who may catch the eye- No.8 Dimitri Basilaia and tough flank Mamuka Gorgodze.

Head to Head: The two packs at scrums. When England and the Pumas met, the scrums were a mess in the perfect climate of Otago Stadium, while the scrums in the Invercargill rain were much, much tidier when Scotland and Georgia met. The contest between the two No.8s - Nick Easter of England and Dimitri Basilaia of Georgia.

Previous Result:

The two countries, sharing St George as their patron saint, have little else in common. Their only meeting on the rugby fieild was at the 2003 World Cup and then England lathered Georgia, scoring 12 tries to nil.

2003: England won 84-6 at Subiaco Oval, Perth

Prediction: England by over 20 points.
