Georgia vs Fiji
World Cup
6:15am Thursday 3rd October
Georgia can proceed top of Pool D and reserve their place with victory over Fiji.
Theyre eager to show the world just how much they have improved, although the Georgians have to score a huge victory over a top-tier nation in exactly the identical vein since Japan successes over Ireland and South Africa.
Beating quarter-finalists that are two-times Fiji, on the back of an impressive five-try triumph over Uruguay, will all-but a spot and guarantee place at another World Cup.
It might be a perfect method for head trainer Milton Haig to bidding farewell after eight years in charge.
You would be honest in stating that if Georgia wins this game, well be eligible for another World Cup, said Haig.
Logistically, nobody else could grab us unless you can find some huge, huge upsets.
Were confident that if we do this work done, we will have qualified. This is what weve worked for over the past three decades. It has come down to this and we always knew it would.
Hes fully trying to get a Fiji backlash and hopes to find the group which fared on against Australia rather than.
The entire world knows about the Fijian group, said Haig. They will seem to run the ball, I am absolutely certain of that.
In what is a game before it faces pool leaders Wales, fiji had since dropping to Uruguay, an eight-day turnaround.
Georgia tally of five tries against Uruguay carried on the momentum generated in the second half of its 43-14 loss. The Georgians trailed that one 29-0 often commanded in the scrum and but matched that the Welsh 2-2 after the break in tries.
The package of fiji has its work cut out, considering forwards have so much scored five of the seven tries of Georgia.
They have to manage Georgias imposing bunch before putting their flying backs.
They are a very strong set-piece team and its about getting our set bit right to supply some fantastic chunk for our deadly backline, explained Fiji prop Campese Maafu.
Anyone who knows the Flying Fijians nicely, we get our title from flying round the pitch a lot. But this week that the major focus will be to perform our plays and really apply some stress in the set-piece.
Fiji head trainer John McKee has made 11 changes in the Uruguay game, selecting a stronger line-up comprising.
After demonstrating signs of concussion following a heavy and high tackle in the Australia game peceli Yato, that overlooked the Uruguay game, yields at No 8 in a increase for McKees side.
Peceli has been a large loss for people, said McKee. He was in outstanding form against the Wallabies, and in the time that he got injured was probably among the greatest players around the playground.
It has been great to have experienced an eight-day turnaround to give us some time to regroup and have a complete weeks training going into this game.
