Anxious and error-prone Fiji fought back to beat fading Georgia 17-12 on Saturday and remain on course for the World Cup quarter-finals, pushing Australia to the brink of elimination.
Fiji scored two second-half tries as they rebounded from a nine-point half-time deficit to tighten their grip on second place in Group C, but their failure to collect a bonus point left Australia with a slight hope of avoiding a first ever group-stage exit."If I am being honest we were beaten to the punch in the first half. We knew it was going to be a battle. I am just thankful we have the result," said Fiji head coach Simon Raiwalui.
"What a game! I'm pretty exhausted. Shout out to Georgia for a tough game today." said Fiji captain Waisea Nayacalevu.
