Wales secured top spot in the Rugby World Cup pool C after claiming a 43-19 victory over Georgia at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes.

The team led Pool C with three goals from Louis Rees-Zammit and will likely play Argentina or Japan in the quarter-finals.

George North, Liam Williams, and Tomas Francis all crossed for Wales as well.

After tries from Merab Sharikadze, Vano Karkadze, and Davit Niniashvili in the second half, Georgia looked like they could make a comeback.

They didn’t win, though, so it was a disappointing World Cup.

Spain plays Japan in a “virtual quarterfinal play-off” on Sunday at Nante’s Stade de Beaujoire. That game will decide Wales’ fate in the last eight.

Samoa also has a small chance of moving on if they beat England, who won Pool D, and other things go their way.
