Georgia flanker withdraws after torn hamstring

Georgia flanker Irakli Gundishvili was forced to withdraw from the rugby World Cup yesterday with a torn hamstring.

The 22-year-old Gundishvili had already been ruled out of Georgia's opening pool game with England on Sunday but the team management decided to send him home after the injury showed no sign of improvement.

Georgia have called up Sergi Goudjaraidze to replace Gundishvili.
