Rob Harley says nobody should be surprised if Georgia shoot down Scotland on Saturday because they are gunning for the worlds top nations.The Glasgow flanker thinks the Lelos have made major strides in recent years. Under Kiwi head coach Milton Haig, the Georgians have climbed to 12th place in the World Rugby rankings and have beaten Tonga, Fiji and Samoa already this year.Beating Scotland when the teams meet at Kilmarnock would represent their biggest scalp to date but Harley is in no doubt about their qualities.He said: Looking at the way they are playing they are showing a lot of form and had a good result against Samoa last week. Would it be an upset if they were to win on Saturday? Im sure theyre pushing for this kind of result.If you look at their recent run of games, theyre playing good rugby, theyre playing well, so its a good challenge for us and were looking forward to having that challenge, especially up front.We looked at Georgia this week and theyre a very good team. Theyve got a lot of strengths, notably up front in the scrum and their maul, and when they bring big runners round the corner theyre very dangerous, so its going to be a big challenge for us out at Kilmarnock.Harley is bracing himself for a onslaught from the visitors muscular pack when the teams clash in Scotlands final autumn Test.But he admits the plastic grass at Rugby Park may be greener for the nine-strong Warriors contingent in Vern Cotters line-up given their familiarity with the similar 4G surface at Scotstoun.He said: We play on an artificial surface but quite a few teams have brought them in now so lots of players have experience on them.It definitely encourages a fast game, is good for the fans because it encourages attacking rugby and helps you get speed in the game so its challenge for both teams to play with that but its exciting as well.I love playing at Murrayfield but its good to have that variety, a bit of something different. Its another challenge for us - different stadium, different surface.Thats another battle between the two teams, who can adapt best to that stadium and that pitch. We get an advantage from being at home.I was on the bus tour earlier in the year when we went down and around the clubs in that area and we got massive support, so if we can get that out then thats an advantage weve got already.Theyve got a lot of big players in the pack, a lot of big, strong guys but as well as that they are very well drilled in the forward elements of the game - their scrum is very good and their maul is good as well, so its a key battle area for us.Theyre going to want to take us on there and that could set the tone for the whole game. Its a real challenge for us. They have one of the best scrums in the world and thats the reason we are playing - to challenge ourselves against the best.Dennis Rodman Jersey .

Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season. "I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. Detroit Pistons Pro Shop . Inter president Erick Thohir says in a club statement on Wednesday that Vidic is "one of the worlds best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree, and charisma will be an asset.The Wests Tigers are confident Jack Littlejohn will inject some much-needed defensive starch into their halves as they continue their unlikely run into the NRL finals.The Tigers face the first of many make-or-break games in the run home against premiers North Queensland at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday afternoon with Littlejohn to deputise for injured No.7 Luke Brooks.While Brooks absence due to a knee injury will heap pressure on in-form five-eighth Mitchell Moses in attack, Littlejohn is shaping as a key figure in the last five weeks for the 10th placed Tigers.Its no secret that defence has been the deep flaw in the Tigers game this year - conceding the fourth most points (average 24.1 per game) and second most linebreaks (5.7 per game).Defence has particularly been a problem for the Tigers halves with Brooks missing the most tackles of any player in the competition with 85 and Moses making the fourth most defensive errors with 74.Littlejohn, who has just six NRL games to his credit with five appearances for Manly in 2014 and round one for the Tigers, stands at a lanky 187cm and has been tipped by his teammates aas being able to hold his own.ddddddddddddHes a real competitor, a very physical half, back-rower Chris Lawrence said.Hes going to test the line and hes got really strong defence.Hes a competitor and hes going to do it to the best of his ability.Fullback James Tedesco said coach Jason Taylor had put a big emphasis on defence over the last two months and the fruits of their labour were beginning to show after conceding just three tries in their last two outings - wins against Parramatta and St George Illawarra.Our defence has probably been our emphasis over the back end of the year, Tedesco said.The last two weeks weve probably only let in two or three tries, which has been a big positive for us.Our attack has always clicked but weve just got to be more consistent. We do it for good parts during the game and then we slack off for 10 or 20 minutes and weve let a few tries in.Its just about staying in the grind and when we complete at over 80 per cent we tend to turn that into points.
