CARDIFF (Reuters) - Wales denied engaging in gamesmanship at the end of their narrow 13-6 victory over Georgia on Saturday, which potentially cost their unrated opponents the chance to force a shock draw in the first international meeting between the two countries.

Wales claimed they had no fit props left to come on and scrum in the last minute after substitute Tomas Francis had been sent to the sin-bin, with Georgia pressing hard near the try line.
