Betting on Wales (-19.5)

Wales will head to their clash against Georgia with momentum on their side after they beat Australia 40-6 in their last pool match.

The Welshmen have now won their first three matches by an average of 20 points, scoring 24 unanswered points in the second half to pull away from the Wallabies.

Gareth Anscombe starred for Wales in the lopsided win, kicking 23 points against Australia.

Jac Morgan, Gareth Davies, and Nick Tompkins registered tries for the Dragons, who booked a place in the quarters with a match remaining in Pool C.

A win over Georgia in Nantes this coming Saturday will make Wales the winners of Pool C, per the BBC.

They only need two match points to secure the top spot, which would set up a probable last-eight clash against either Japan or Argentina in Marseille the following weekend.

Betting on Georgia (+19.5)

Georgia had a golden opportunity to pick up their first win of the 2023 Rugby World Cup in their last match against Fiji.

The Lelos entered the break with a 9-0 advantage, scoring three penalties in the opening half. It was the first time since 2017 that Fiji failed to score a point in the first half of a test match.

Georgia couldn't hold on to their lead, though, as the Pacific Islanders outscored them 17-3 in the second half to record a 17-12 win, per Sky Sports.

Vinaya Habosi and Waisea Nayacalevu registered tries for Fiji in the come-from-behind win.

The Lelos will look to finish their World Cup campaign with a victory when they face Wales in Nantes. Georgia have won just once in their past four meetings with the Dragons.
