Fiji scored two second-half tries as they rebounded from a nine-point half-time deficit.
ANXIOUS AND ERROR-PRONE Fiji fought back to beat fading Georgia 17-12 and remain on course for the World Cup quarter-finals, pushing Australia to the brink of elimination.
With a quarter-final place beckoning, Fiji started anxiously in Bordeaux, messing up restarts, losing lineouts, giving away penalties and paying the habitual price for their high-risk passing attack and repeatedly dropping the ball.Yet Georgia also showed nerves as they blew gilt-edged touchdown chances at each end of the half.The winger was denied at the end of the half.
Down a man, Fiji finally made their passes stick. Captan Waisea Nayacalevu twirled through two tackles on the wing to touch down behind his back.
