WALES are a win away from having a flawless pool campaign at the Rugby World Cup – but Georgia are looking to spoil the party.
Warren Gatland’s men have won all three of their group encounters including a thrilling 40-6 win over the Wallabies.

And victory against the Georgians would see them finish Pool C with a 100% win record having already secured quarter-final qualification.
The Welsh heroes could be paired with Japan or Samoa but they are more likely to face Argentina.
Los Pumas face Japan on Sunday, October 8 and Wales need just a losing bonus point from their game against Georgia to top Pool C.
But it could be interesting as Gatland has decided to alter his side from the team that beat Australia.
