After securing the Six Nations title recently, England will be looking to get their Autumn Nations Cup campaign off a winning start.
This is action from Group A of the competition and this should be England’s easiest game of the group stage.
Following this England will face Ireland at Twickenham and then Wales in Llanelli.

England Preview – How big of a win does England get?
Rugby betting for England v Georgia is going to be all about the margin of victory for the Red Rose.
They are ridiculously long-priced favourites to pick up the victory, which is no surprise as they should dominate this game at Twickenham.
In their last match, England produced a win in Rome over Italy to seal the Six Nations title.
It took a while for England to get going in that match, which was their first since the season was suspended back in March.
But with that 34-5 victory under their belt, an even better, more colincial performance will be expected of Eddie Jones’s men on the weekend.
In the handicap market for england rugby betting, an England -38 option is at 10/11 odds* (odds taken 04:21 GMT Thursday, 12th November).
England won four of their five Six Nations matches, the loss happening on the first weekend of action away in France.
There have been selection issues for Jones because of injuries to some key players. But the head coach has already said not to expect widespread changes in the squad.
This is a chance of course to get some fresh faces and try them out, especially against weaker opposition.
Given that Georgia were just hammered by Scotland at Murrayfield in an international test last month, whoever lines up for England, the Red Rose will be expected to deliver a sizable victory.
An England 31-40 winning margin is at 3/1 odds* (odds taken 04:21 GMT Thursday, 12th November).
Georgia Preview – Tough challenge for Georgia
Georgia have played just one match since the international season restarted and that didn’t go well for them.
Last month Goergia went to Murrayfield to face Scotland in a test and suffered a 48-7 defeat in the match.
That stopped their winning form having been on a four match winning streak in the Six Nations B.
That Six Nations B run was against Romania, Spain, Belgium and Portugal.
This is a whole different level for them of course and their record against the top tier nations speaks for itself.
It’s not good.
Last year they lost twice to Scotland, once to Wales, Fiji and Australia and they were never in any kind of position to win any of those matches.

Georgia are most likely to lose this game and they are 40/1 underdogs in the match outright* (odds taken 04:21 GMT Thursday, 12th November).
That’s obviously not worth taking them on for that price at all.
We expect them to concede heavily and they will probably take heart from staying as close as they can in the first half.
A Georgia +19 half time handicap is a 10/11 option for rugby betting* (odds taken 04:21 GMT Thursday, 12th November).
England vs Georgia Betting Advice
We don’t see any other outcome other than a heavy win for England. It is just a matter of how big of a win that England put together.
Given the lack of rugby played this season we are going to go with an England 31-40 winning margin at 3/1* (odds taken 04:21 GMT Thursday, 12th November).
Key Facts – England vs Georgia Betting Tip
- England recently won the Six Nations title
- England also face Ireland and Wales in the Autumn Nations Cup
- Georgia were lost 48-7 against Scotland last month
We think that is about right in the context of things. England will be using this as a warm up ahead of sterner tests to come against Ireland and Wales.
This is going to be about as routine as it gets for the Red Rose.
