Match Notes
This match was abandoned prior to play starting after the Georgian team had their visa applications rejected. A subsequent investigation discovered that the Georgian team had forfeited their match because their players were actually representing the "rugby union" team. Georgia were found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute, ejected from the competition and banned from RLIF events for two years. Russia were awarded the fixture 24–0. No line ups or scorers exist for this contest.
