CARDIFF (Reuters) -Replacement flyhalf Luka Matkava, a 21-year-old playing his second international, became an instant national hero when he landed a 77th-minute penalty to earn Georgia a 13-12 victory over Wales on Saturday in the greatest moment of their rugby history.

Having beaten Italy earlier in the year for their first win over a Tier One country, it was a stunning result for Georgia, who will face Wales again in the World Cup next year.
