Read our privacy policy Jonathan Humphreys says that Wales “cannot afford to go off-script” when they tackle Rugby World Cup opponents Georgia in Nantes on Saturday. They lost 13-12 at home to Georgia when the countries last met almost a year ago, and Wales assistant coach Humphreys has emphasised a fierce sense of determination in the camp. “They are a dangerous outfit, and we cannot afford to go off-script.” Few could have imagined Wales reaching the last eight just 11 months after Georgia triumphed 13-12 in Cardiff, and Humphreys added: “We’ve had five months together. “Every day, it has been working on those fundamentals that we felt were important and would make a difference.” Wales head coach Warren Gatland has made six changes for the Georgia clash, with Dewi Lake captaining a side that Centre Nick Tompkins will continue his midfield partnership with George North, meanwhile, and look to maintain the form that has made him among Wales’ most impressive performers at the tournament.
