2005 EUROPEAN CUP QUALIFIER
Netherlands and Georgia kicked off what will be the biggest European Cup in rugby league history, with nine nations competing over 10 matches and seven months. The Georgians were able to draw on some elite rugby union players and built a 14-6 halftime lead.

The home side weren't able to get any closer and conceded five second half tries in front of a small crowd in Hoek Van Holland.
