Fiji claims first Rugby World Cup win

FILIPPO MONTEFORTE / AFP

Fiji have secured their first win of the Rugby World Cup, to move up to second in Pool D, behind Wales.

Their 45-10 victory over Georgia has moved them a point ahead of Australia, but they have played a game more.

The result effectively ends Georgia's hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, Ireland will look to bounce back from their shock defeat to hosts Japan when they face Russia in Pool A later on Thursday.
