Head to Head

Georgia has won both previous meetings against Fiji.

Georgia U20 Form

Georgia lost to Italy 43-19 in the 9th Place Semi-Final at the AIA Arena in Kutaisi after trailing 43-14 at half-time.

Georgia showed improvement after a dominant first half by Italy, with first-half tries from Temuri Dzodzuashvili and Gabriel Razmadze, but they struggled with discipline, conceding numerous penalties that kept Italy in control. Despite a determined second-half defensive effort and a try from Giorgi Agniashvili, Georgia was unable to close the gap.

Georgia has won two of their last five matches, beating Uruguay 56-3 and Scotland 22-7, while also suffering a narrow 25-24 defeat to Wales.

Fiji U20 Form

Fiji lost a tight 24-19 match to Ireland in the ninth-place semi-finals at the AIA Arena in Kutaisi, Georgia. With the defeat, Fiji advanced to face hosts Georgia in the 11th-place playoff.

Although Fiji was forced to play 20 minutes with only 14 men after two yellow cards, they stayed in the contest through determined defence and some dangerous attacking play.

Fiji has won one of their last 5 matches, beating Spain 29-26.
