Fiji handed Georgia a fourth consecutive defeat after beating their hosts 24-19 in the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi on Saturday.
The Fijians trailed 19-18 half-time but converted two penalty kicks in the second half to turn the table and win the match.
The islanders bounced back from last weekend's 53-0 drubbing at the hand of an Ireland XV outfit, while Georgia suffered yet another loss after going down to Canada, the USA and Japan in earlier Tests.
It's the Lelos' worst run of defeats since 2009.

Watched this match - with a bunch of Australians (no Trinats tho') - a good close match, commentary was in Georgian so apart from local players' names, and boy did they have difficulty with some of the Fijian names. Silence and crowd all standing for anthems, some whistles when Fiji did their cibi (version of haka) followed by more applause - very polite! I expected Georgia to win, many huge tackles on speeding opposition players and local conditions maybe suited the home team more, but Fij never gave up, good goalkicking where this has not always been their strengths. A more entertaining game than some of the others played that night, well done both sides.
