TOYOTA CITY, Japan (Reuters) - Georgia coach Milton Haig said Monday's 43-14 Rugby World Cup defeat by Wales is the perfect example of why his team needs to play Tier 1 opposition regularly if they are to be more competitive.

Georgia were blown away in the first half at the City of Toyota Stadium as they trailed 29-0 at the break, but then rallied in what was an improved second half performance in terms of intensity and ambition.
