Key forwards return for Georgia

Georgia boss Milton Haig has made three changes to his starting XV for Sunday's game against the USA, welcoming back two key forwards.

Toulon prop Levan Chilachava returns at tighthead, while recent Top 14 winner Vito Kolelishvili is named in the seven shirt to complete a strong pack.

The other change comes on the right wing, where Giorgi Koshadze starts in an otherwise unchanged back-line. The side is once again captained by centre Merab Sharikadze.

New faces on the bench include prop Tornike Mataradze, lock Giorgi Chkhaidze and Brive back Giorgi Tsutskiridze.

Sunday's clash is the first between the two sides since 2013, when the USA won 25-23 in Rustavi.
