Rugby World Cup 2011: England v Georgia - in pictures

After the midweek scandal involving the English rugby players who allegedly spent a night tossing dwarves at Altitude Bar in Queenstown, New Zealand, the question still remains: How far were they tossed? The world record apparently stands at 12ft 9in and was set by an Englishman in 2002. From the look of this 19th century picture, dwarf tossing may have been around for quite a while.

Jonny Wilkinson is not in the starting line-up after his repeated inability to find the goalposts against Argentina at this venue in the opening pool match. Merab Kvirikashvili of Georgia is finding it equally tricky and misses two simple kicks as England gift their opponents six early penalties.

Shontayne Hape scores two tries for England before the interval - the second of which, pictured, sees him diving at full-stretch to capitalise on Chris Ashton's play-making. The first, a long-distance dash after only three minutes of the match, feels like it happened an eternity ago, such has been the Georgian pressure Photograph: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images

Irakli Machkhaneli almost gives Georgia a try of their own, but his foot edges into touch before he plants the ball over the line. However, No8 Dimitri Basilaia does score a try just before the break with England a man down after Dylan Hartley's sin-binning.

Even these two fanatics must be concerned at the break. A lack of discipline is once again blighting England's chances and their lack of possession in the opposition's 22 is stark Photograph: Shaun Botterill/Getty Images
