Georgia vs Fiji Preview

This should be a very interesting contest after these sides were seperated by just five points at the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Fiji won on that occasion, I am backing a reversal of roles this time.

Head to Head

Fiji beat Georgia 17-12 in their last encounter in 2023. That game took place in France during the World Cup.

Georgia Form

Georgia have played some good rugby since the conclusion of the 2023 Rugby World Cup. At the showpiece event, they also impressed as growth of the sport continues in the country.

In February and March 2024, Georgia won five consecutive Rugby Europe matches. They defeated Netherlands, Spain, Romania, Germany, and Portugal.

The victory over Germany, the first of the five games, was by 11 points, the closest anyone got to Georgia. Romania and Portugal, both qualifiers at the World Cup last year were well beaten.

Georgia have their full squad available with players back from leagues across Europe.

Fiji Form

Fiji have only played one game since they were knocked out in the quarter-final of the 2023 Rugby World Cup. That game ended in a 45-32 defeat to the Barbarians, which was an exhibition match.

However, Fiji have a superb side as they proved at the World Cup last year. In the group stage, they finished second, losing only to Wales. They beat Australia and Georgia on the way to a 30-24 defeat to England in the quarters.

Fiji Injuries & Team News

Fiji have plenty of talent within their squad and the players have now been exposed to top class Super Rugby with the Fijian Drua. Expect them to keep improving in the coming years.

Verdict

Georgia v Fiji

Georgia are slight favourites at home, and I am backing them to win at cover the -2 handicap.
