  1. Fiji 0-3 Georgia

    Georgia are blistering the opening few minutes. Fiji mess up a line-out and a wall of red is on them, driving forward with ease.

    That is a very good start, the Georgian fans are making a lot of noise. They will be delighted with how they have started!

  4. Fiji 0-0 Georgia

    Georgia get a cheap penalty and have a chance to take a deserved early lead...

  5. 'Golden opportunity'

    That should have been a try. Georgia had to execute it and they didn't.

    Golden opportunity to get onto the scoreboard in the opening minutes.

  6. Fiji 0-0 Georgia

    So nearly the opener for Georgia who race down the right and have the spare man.

    The ball is shipped out to Akaki Tabutsadze on the touchline but he spills it inside the final 10 metres!

    Criminal!

  7. Fiji 0-0 Georgia

    It's a tense start with Georgia shading the territory.

    After their draw with Portugal the other week, Georgia's quarter-finals hopes are slim, but remember, a third-placed finish in the group ensures qualification to the next World Cup in four years' time.

    That'll be Georgia's target.

    Fiji have won four of their six matches against Georgia since the two sides’ first meeting 11 years ago. Their most recent meeting, in Madrid last November, ended in a 15-15 draw.

    We're in sunny Bordeaux for this one at Matmut Atlantique, a stadium that one of the most handsome BBC live-texters has been to.

    (It's me, I'm that live-texter).

    It's a brilliant ground, built for the 2016 Euros. I saw Bordeaux vs St Etienne there a couple of years ago. Since that day, both those two sides have been relegated.

  16. Who needs what in Pool C?

    Fiji v Georgia (16:45 BST)

    That's right, Fiji are best-placed to join Wales in the last eight, helped by their superior head-to-head record over Australia. Wins in their final two games against Georgia and Portugal will be enough for them to qualify.

    Should Fiji slip up, Eddie Jones' Australia could sneak into second place with a positive result against Portugal. However, the Wallabies are on the brink of a first ever pool-stage elimination.

    Georgia and Portugal have slim chances of a top-two place but will need to cause at least one upset in their remaining fixtures.

    One match down on Saturday, two more to go.

    Fiji could move a huge step closer to securing a spot in the World Cup quarter-finals with a bonus-point win over Georgia this afternoon.

    If they do that, they'd eliminate Australia in the process.

    Shall we?
