Wake Forest lost to UGA 6-3 in a sloppy start to the 2008 season.
The first half of the match saw some extremely sloppy play as both teams tried to shake off early season rust. Wake Forest and Georgia could only produce a penalty goal each and the match stood even at the break 3-3.
The second half saw each team produce better scoring opportunities, with longer sustained drives into each other’s territory. Wake could not capitalize on any of their chances. Georgia was able to produce another penalty goal and took the match 6-3. All in all, Wake Forest showed many signs of good rugby to come, but the numerous penalties, turnovers and inability to recycle clean ball ultimately prevented Wake from winning its season opener.
