Georgia captain Ilia Zedginidze made a plea for more matches against better opposition in the wake of his team's 33-3 defeat to Argentina on Tuesday.

The Georgians held the Pumas to just a 6-3 advantage in the first half, before the Pumas ran away with the match, and a bonus point, later in the game.
Zedginidze praised his team's commitment, and insisted that if Georgian rugby is to improve, his team must keep playing those sorts of matches.
"I think the first half was very good for us," he said.
"There were physical conditions, but our teams need more matches like this to help us get to a higher level.
"This Argentina team is a very tough team and a very hard team to play, and I wish them good luck for the next games."
But Zedginidze would not be drawn on whether he thought his team could beat Namibia and thus glean fourth spot, and a place at the high table for the next rugby World Cup in new Zealand.
"It is our objective to do our best and to give the best performances we can," he said.
