Louis Rees-Zammit scored a second-half hat-trick of tries to help Wales claim a resounding win over Georgia in Nantes on Saturday to finish top of World Cup Pool C.
The Welsh won 43-19, and will now face the winners of the showdown between Argentina and Japan, who also play in Nantes on Sunday, in the quarter-finals in Marseille next weekend.
Georgia roared back up the pitch, flanker Beka Saginadze bouncing off three tackles like a wrecking ball before the attack was snuffed out. Akaki Tabutsadze was just bundled into touch as Wales failed to get a proper grip on the match, the winger then sparking down the left flank as Georgia pressed. Costelow missed a long-range penalty, but converted a second try by Rees-Zammit, the winger settling Wales nerves after latching on to a clever Williams chip over a stretched Georgian defence.
