The two teams met in the second round of the World Rugby competition designed to strengthen tier two nations through a tournament.

Played in front of a home crowd at the ANZ Stadium in Suva, hosts Fiji overcame their rivals.

Henry Seniloli scored two tries in the opening 20 minutes to give Fiji an early advantage, but they still trailed 15-10 at half-time as Georgia hit back through Viktor Kolelishvili and Alexander Todua.

Fiji turned the match around in impressive fashion as Jale Vatubua started a run of 27 unanswered points by going over for their third try minutes after the interval.
