Radrada on fire as Fiji thump Georgia

Winger Semi Radradra scored two of Fiji’s seven tries and made three others as the Pacific Islanders finally got a win on the board at the Rugby World Cup with a 45-10 victory over Georgia at a rain-drenched Hanazono Rugby Stadium on Thursday.

While their upset loss to Uruguay following an opening defeat to Australia has all but put paid to their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals, Fiji are now in pole position to finish third in Pool D and qualify for the 2023 World Cup.

Former Australia rugby league international Radradra was at the heart of their best moves and grabbed a brace as well as helping set up scores for centre Waisea Nayacalevu, halfback Frank Lomani and his fellow winger Josua Tuisova.

Georgia fought hard throughout and had a try from totemic flanker Mamuka Gorgodze but looked tired towards the end as flanker Semi Kunatani and lock Apisalome Ratuniyarawa crossed to inflate the scoreline.
