Fiji avoided the kind of mega shock it is more used to dishing out at the Rugby World Cup when the Pacific islanders were constrained by a fully committed Georgia before coming back from 9-0 down to win 17-12 on Saturday.
PARIS — Fiji avoided the kind of mega shock it is more used to dishing out at the Rugby World Cup when the Pacific islanders were constrained by a fully committed Georgia before coming back from 9-0 down to win 17-12 on Saturday.
Top-ranked Ireland leads the pool after a titanic win over defending champion South Africa last weekend but it could possibly fail to reach the quarters if it loses to Scotland next Saturday at Stade de France. Ireland had its bye this weekend and will have had two weeks rest by the time it lines up against Scotland to determine both their fates.
“They are quarterfinalists from the last World Cup and we’re not, so we’re very hungry to be in that position,” Cheika said.
