TOYOTA CITY, Japan (Reuters) - After a disjointed build-up to the Rugby World Cup off the pitch and some patchy form on it, Wales will be relieved to play their opening Pool D game against Georgia at the City of Toyota Stadium on Monday.

Wales’ recent 14-match unbeaten run, that included a Six Nations Grand Slam, was ended in a 33-19 loss to England in August, and following subsequent home and away defeats to Ireland, they now have just a single win in their last four games.
