Georgia and Fiji meet in the Autumn Nations Cup at Murrayfield on Saturday. It promises to be a very competitive match with Fiji having not played for so long and Georgia impressing over the last three weeks of action.

Georgia Form

Georgia have impressed immensely during the Autumn Nations Cup. As a tier two rugby nation they were not expected to achieve much but despite losing their three matches, there have been plenty of positives.

Georgia began with a 40-0 loss to England and that was followed by a 18-0 defeat to Wales. In both matches Georgia showed what they are capable of, but their attacking talent is limited.

Their best performance came last week as they pushed Ireland all the way. In the end Ireland walked away with a bruising 23-10 victory.

Georgia Team News

Georgia have made three changes from their line-up last weekend. Sandro Todua comes in on the wing for Tamaz Mchedlidze. The injured Beka Gorgadza will be replaced in the loose trip by Tornike Jalagonia.

In the final change, Kote Mikautadza returns from injury at lock and replaces Nodar Cheishvili.

Fiji Form

Fiji can finally play some rugby after spending the last month shacked up in a motel. The Pacific Islanders have been given the all clear for COVID-19.

Their matches against France, Italy and Scotland were all cancelled which means Fiji finished bottom of their group. Fiji and Georgia will be playing for 8th place.

Fiji have only had a week of training so expecting them to be anywhere near their fluent best is unrealistic.

Fiji Team News

Head coach Vern Cotter will hand debuts to lock Temo Mayanavanua and loose-forwards Johnny Dyer and Mesulame Kunavula.

On the bench there are six further debutants.

Georgia vs Fiji Head to Head

Fiji and Georgia have met on four occasions with Fiji winning three and Georgia one. The last time they met was at the 2019 Rugby World Cup where Fiji won 45-10.

Georgia vs Fiji Odds

Georgia vs Fiji Match Up

Georgia will be physical and try to dominate the set pieces. They will know that the Fijians are one of the most dangerous teams in the world with ball in hand so any aimless kicking or turnover ball could have dire consequences.

Fiji will want a fast start because it is likely that they will feel the pace of the game late on.
