The Vodafone Flying Fijians were held 15-15 by a tough Georgian side in its final Northern tour test match in Madrid this morning.

A try each to Aminiasi Tuimaba and Viliame Mata with one successful conversion and a penalty from Ben Volavola contributed to Fiji’s points on the scoreboard.

Georgia proved too strong for the Flying Fijians in every aspect of the game.

Their forwards were on the right track, outplaying Fiji in majority of the set-piece plays.

Tedo Abzhandadze scored all 15 points for Georgia off the tees.

The Flying Fijians were made to work harder every time they had the ball in hand.

Flying Fijians captain Waisea Nayacalevu says it was a tough battle against a powerful Georgian side.

He says they did not execute a lot of their game plan which caused a few penalties.

Nayacalevu says they will take the learnings out of this game and move ahead in their campaign towards the Rugby World Cup in 2023.

The Vodafone Flying Fijians earlier beat Spain 43-13, went down to Wales 38-23 and played to a 15-all draw against Georgia today.
