Georgia captain Merab Sharikadze insists Ireland remain one of the world’s best teams. Sharikadze will lead his country out in Dublin on Sunday afternoon (2pm) bidding to spring an upset in the Autumn Nations Cup. “I would say that difference is very close,” Sharikadze said of the gap between Ireland and higher-ranked sides. “If you take today’s example, we’ve seen Argentina beat New Zealand two weeks ago and today [Saturday] they lost, so you can’t really tell who is a better team. “I would say Ireland is one of the top teams in the world, and you cannot really say if they are first or fifth.
