Wales stroll into this clash with a qualification already secured after demolishing Australia two weeks ago.

While Georgia lost narrowly to Fiji in a clash in which they often looked like the better side, they ultimately lost out on any hopes of qualifying.

Warren Gatland isn’t underestimating Georgia with the side he’s named, particularly as memories of Wales losing to Georgia in last year's Autumn internationals will still haunt plenty of Welsh fans.

Jac Morgan gets a well-deserved rest, with Dewi Lake taking the reins as captain. But the likes of Taulupe Faletau, Will Rowlands, and George North starting highlights the strength of his Welsh side.

Georgia, having bruised up a Fijian side that almost beat Wales and beat Australia, will be confident going into this clash and hoping that the Welsh don’t take them as seriously as they should.

It’s been less than a year since the Georgians beat them 13-12 in Cardiff, the Welsh then being coached by Wayne Pivac, and they’ll be looking to repeat that feat.

Wales v Georgia key player to watch

Gareth Anscombe (Wales)

Fly-half Gareth Anscombe entered the fray against Australia in lieu of Dan Biggar and, with qualification potentially on the line, steered his side to 40-6 victory.

Biggar is expected to return to the line-up for Wales’ quarter-final match, but there’s every chance he doesn’t or that his injury is aggravated.

Anscombe, at once Wales’ starting ten before injuries took their toll, could begin to reclaim that spot especially as Dan Biggar approaches retirement.
