Georgian Rugby Union wishes Happy New Year to “another” Georgia Rugby Union in US

The Georgia Rugby Union’s representatives congratulated the United States Georgia Rugby Union on New Year’s Eve - “with love from Georgia to Georgia”, through a video posted on the social media platform.

We love, live and fight for rugby like you and if others can’t distinguish us, so let it be so - it makes us two on this planet [...] Consider our victories as yours, as we do and keep smiling, keep winning and think of Georgia”, the representatives noted in the video.

The US Ambassador to Georgia, Kelly Degnan also participated in the video and said it was “great pleasure” for her to “pass along” special holiday messages from Georgian friends to her “fellow” Americans.

The US Georgia Rugby Union responded to them wishing Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to Georgian friends and fans of the country’s rugby union.

Georgia’s national rugby team recorded a historic win over a Tier 1 squad in an away game, defeating Wales in the third November test match at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, after which some of the fans mixed up “two Georgias” - the country and the US state, and congratulated the US’s team on winning.
