Georgia Thrash Tonga 55-31 in Landmark 300th International Rugby Match

Georgia’s national rugby team, known as the Lelos, celebrated their 300th international appearance with an impressive 55-31 victory over Tonga in the 2026 World Rugby Nations Cup.

Playing in front of a home crowd at Avchala Stadium in Tbilisi, Georgia delivered a commanding attacking performance to secure a 24-point victory over the Pacific Island nation.

The result marked a significant milestone for Georgian rugby, as the national team celebrated its 300th international match since making its debut in 1989.

The victory also extended Georgia’s impressive run in the competition, following a dominant 59-14 win over Canada in their previous Nations Cup fixture.

Georgia, which has emerged as one of Europe’s leading rugby nations outside the Six Nations Championship, continues to strengthen its international standing through consistent performances against established rugby opponents.

The Lelos will next face the United States on November 21 at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in Tbilisi, in another key fixture of the 2026 World Rugby Nations Cup.
