The Telegraph said it was "a win for Warren Gatland’s experimental Wales team then, but not one of which to be particularly proud”.

It was all rather messy and confusing – in keeping with a game which started brightly enough for Wales but descended into a dreadfully stodgy affair”, The Telegraph said.

Wales congratulated Georgian 'Lelos' after their tenacious performance this afternoon in Cardiff.

BBC believes "Wales was determined to move Georgia's lauded pack around the field and this early rapid tempo almost brought immediate success”.

Playing against Wales for the first time, the visitors did indeed make a good impression against Gatland's men, who they had hanging on for victory at the end”, BBC added.

The Georgian ‘Lelos’ are now preparing to face US Eagles in Tbilisi on November 25.
