Rob Harley says nobody should be surprised if Georgia shoot down Scotland on Saturday because they are gunning for the worlds top nations.The Glasgow flanker thinks the Lelos have made major strides in recent years. Under Kiwi head coach Milton Haig, the Georgians have climbed to 12th place in the World Rugby rankings and have beaten Tonga, Fiji and Samoa already this year.Beating Scotland when the teams meet at Kilmarnock would represent their biggest scalp to date but Harley is in no doubt about their qualities.He said: Looking at the way they are playing they are showing a lot of form and had a good result against Samoa last week. Would it be an upset if they were to win on Saturday? Im sure theyre pushing for this kind of result.If you look at their recent run of games, theyre playing good rugby, theyre playing well, so its a good challenge for us and were looking forward to having that challenge, especially up front.We looked at Georgia this week and theyre a very good team. Theyve got a lot of strengths, notably up front in the scrum and their maul, and when they bring big runners round the corner theyre very dangerous, so its going to be a big challenge for us out at Kilmarnock.Harley is bracing himself for a onslaught from the visitors muscular pack when the teams clash in Scotlands final autumn Test.But he admits the plastic grass at Rugby Park may be greener for the nine-strong Warriors contingent in Vern Cotters line-up given their familiarity with the similar 4G surface at Scotstoun.He said: We play on an artificial surface but quite a few teams have brought them in now so lots of players have experience on them.It definitely encourages a fast game, is good for the fans because it encourages attacking rugby and helps you get speed in the game so its challenge for both teams to play with that but its exciting as well.I love playing at Murrayfield but its good to have that variety, a bit of something different. Its another challenge for us - different stadium, different surface.Thats another battle between the two teams, who can adapt best to that stadium and that pitch. We get an advantage from being at home.I was on the bus tour earlier in the year when we went down and around the clubs in that area and we got massive support, so if we can get that out then thats an advantage weve got already.Theyve got a lot of big players in the pack, a lot of big, strong guys but as well as that they are very well drilled in the forward elements of the game - their scrum is very good and their maul is good as well, so its a key battle area for us.Theyre going to want to take us on there and that could set the tone for the whole game. Its a real challenge for us. They have one of the best scrums in the world and thats the reason we are playing - to challenge ourselves against the best. Air Max 97 Ultra Confetti .

SEATTLE -- Jimmy Grahams statement about his most productive game since suffering a major knee injury was left to what he did on the field, all of it coming in one impressive half on Sunday.Hes a phenomenal athlete and its going to be cool to see him develop more so in our offense this year, Seattle tight end Luke Willson said.Less than a year after suffering a torn patellar tendon in his right knee, Graham was back to being a focal point for Seattle.He finished with six catches for 100 yards and just his third touchdown catch with the Seahawks in a 37-18 romp of the San Francisco 49ers .All of his catches came in the first half as Seattle built a 24-3 lead and rolled to a fifth straight regular-season win over the 49ers.After the game, Graham shared smiles and a handshake with team owner Paul Allen in the Seahawks locker room, then disappeared down a hallway and didnt poke his head back into the locker room again.He wanted to have this kind of impact in the game, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. He looked great. Its thrilling to see him.Graham was not supposed to be back by now. Being back on the field in 9+ months is not the typical timeline of an injury as severe as the one he suffered last November against Pittsburgh and just as he was beginning to find a more prominent role in Seattles offense.Carroll continued to say through the offseason that Graham was on pace to be ready for the season opener and he proved correct when Graham took the field in Week 1 against Miami.But getting back on the field and being the threat Graham was in the past are two separate matters. And the latter is what Graham showed against the 49ers.His 18-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter came on a broken play when Russell Wilson scrambled left and found Graham coming open in the middle of the field. But his two most important catches both came in third-down situations.Seattle was faciing third-and-15 on its second possession.dddddddddddd Wilson threw a strike down the middle and Graham was able to hold on to an 18-yard catch despite a crunching hit from safety Eric Reid. Graham caught a 12-yard pass later in the drive to set up Christine Michaels second TD run of the game.But the catch everyone was talking about was Grahams 40-yard jump-ball reception where he wrestled the ball out of Reids arms as he came down.It was a free play because the 49ers had jumped offside, but Wilson gave Graham the chance to use his athleticism and size to make the catch. He also showed a trust in Graham that was always being worked on last season.Hes like 6-(foot)-9. Just throw it up to him, Wilson joked. You look down the field just trying to find somebody and there is this big guy running down the field and just tried to give him a chance.Graham was once the primary target of a pass-happy offense as he was during his time in New Orleans. Thats not how it works in Seattle, even with Marshawn Lynch gone and Wilson having shown he can run more of a pass-based offense.What he showed against the 49ers was still having the ability to make defenses account for his presence on the field.Jimmy has done an excellent job of being patient. Sometimes it can be frustrating because he came from an offense where he was seeing all these targets and thats just not the way that we do it here, Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said.But hes been patient and hes bought in with the fact that were more about controlling the game with the ground game and making the best of our opportunities when we get the targets. ... Hes fully bought into the fact that this is how we play football.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
