Chile have won their last two games in the Nations Cup but Georgia should prove too strong, particularly up front. I am backing Georgia to cover.

Key Stats - Georgia in Fine Form


  • Georgia have won 6 of their last 7 matches.
  • Georgia reached the final of the 2026 Rugby Europe Championship.
  • Chile have won 4 of their last 7 fixtures. 

Head to Head


This is the first-ever meeting between these nations.

Chile Looking for Consistency


Chile produced a solid second-half display against Hong Kong China last weekend, winning 38-17 after leading 19-17 at half-time.

Before that, Los Cóndores faced Romania in their opening Nations Cup match, winning 48-31.

Chile occupy first place in the Americas-Pacific Pool with ten points from two matches.

Chile will be pleased with their results in the competition so far but will have to up their game to beat Georgia, as they have won just four of their last seven outings. 

Georgia Pack too Strong for Chile


Georgia produced a solid overall performance against Samoa last weekend, winning 33-12 after leading 16-7 at the break.  

Before that victory, Borjgalosnebi overcame Uruguay in their opening Nations Cup fixture recently, winning 41-34.

The Lelos are in first place in the European-African-Asian Pool with nine points after two rounds.

Georgia have been in fine form recently, winning six of their last seven matches, giving them the edge to see off the challenge of Chile and win their third Nations Cup match in a row.
