Georgia and Namibia played out a dramatic Pool C clash at Exeter's Sandy Park last night, with the Georgians coming away 17-16 winners. Namibia had led 6-0 but things were a lot closer in the second half. The win, and third place position in the pool, all but secures Georgia qualification for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.

The only way they won't finish third is if Tonga beat the All Blacks in their next fixture.

    Strangest game of rugby. Georgia were totally dominant in the scrums, the tackles, the backline play... basically everywhere but the scoreboard. Credit to Namibia for hanging in there, but if it weren't for some real clangers by the Georgians with the tryline begging (and a few fortuitous calls by the ref), the score could have been much bigger.
