Pens: Matkava 2, Niniashvili 2

Fiji came from behind to claim a narrow victory in an error-strewn Pool C game with Georgia to all but seal their place in the World Cup quarter-finals.

Frank Lomani added seven points with the boot in Bordeaux as Fiji close in on a first quarter-final since 2007.

Luka Matkava's late penalty earned Georgia a losing bonus point but defeat means they cannot reach the last eight.

Reaction to Fiji's win over Georgia

Fiji, who remain second behind leaders Wales, will seal their place in the last eight with a victory over winless Portugal in their final pool game next Sunday.

On Saturday, Georgia will play their last pool game before bowing out of the tournament against Wales, who need just a losing bonus point to win the pool and set up a last eight tie with either Japan or Argentina.
