Georgia can move top of Pool D and book their place at the 2023 Rugby World Cup with victory over Fiji at Hanazono Rugby Stadium this afternoon.

The Georgians have yet to score a big win over a top-tier nation in the same vein as Japan's stunning victories over Ireland and South Africa, but they are keen to show the world how much they have improved.

Beating two-times quarter-finalists Fiji, on the back of an impressive five-try victory over Uruguay, will all-but guarantee third place and a place in the next World Cup.

Fiji will play Georgia at 5.15pm today.
