Fiji were stunned in Pool D on Wednesday when the South Americans achieved the greatest result in their rugby history with a 30-27 victory in Kamaishi.
Georgia, meanwhile, lost their opening game to Wales 43-14 on Monday, but they produced a dogged second-half performance in which they shared 28 points with Warren Gatland's side. Follow the live action below:

What time is it?
Georgia vs Uruguay kicks off on Sunday 29 September at 2.15pm Japan Standard Time, which is 6.15am BST.
64 minutes
Uruguay lose the ball as they dally after the scrum, and Georgia win a penalty for a high tackle after they win the ball back.
And Tedo Abzhandadze goes quickly! A cross field kick claimed by Dzneladze, and has he scored?
NO TRY! He's lost it as he tried to place!
Marius Jonker is consulted, and the TMO rules that the Georgian winger has lost control as Uruguay scramble to tackle him. A let off for Uruguay. Smart thinking from Abzhandadze, and Dzneladze should really have scored.
66 minutes
19-year-old hooker Van Karkadze is into the fray and throws his first lineout dart perfectly, hitting double tops to the three jumper. Mamuka Gorgodze beats his first defender with a sizeable surge.
Georgia fumble in midfield, though, and Uruguay will have a scrum.
68 minutes
There's a real melee on the left touchline as Gela Aprasidze fumbles, with a proper scrap at the ruck for the loose ball and a proper fight between the tiny Aprasidze and the towering Manuel Leindekar, with Aprasidze more than holding his own, impressively. Wayne Barnes is content to give them both a talking to, nothing more, having to look down at Aprasidze and then to the heavens to admonish Leindekar. Georgia win a penalty from the subsequent scrum, with Aprasidze removed. On comes Vasil Lobzhanidze.
Brilliant showing for Aprasidze, and you'd think he'd be Georgia's nine for the remainder of the tournament, now.
70 minutes
Georgia find little joy with the lineout drive but find the forward carries more effective, but Tedo Abzhandadze curiously opts for a little stab along the ground with support waiting with an overlap wide of him on the right. There's no-one to really chase his grubber, either. Uruguay 22 drop-out.
72 minutes
The game is becoming more and more unstructured, and Giorgi Kveseladze works the ball out to Alexander Todua, who sprints up the left touchline towards the Uruguayan 22.
The covering defence is good, though, and they manage to rake the ball away from Todua and win the turnover, and eventually clear their lines.
Livewire scrum-half Gela Aprasidze had a superb game for Georgia.
74 minutes
Space everywhere as Georgia work the ball through the hands, and replacement Soso Matiashvili is away, briefly, as Tedo Abzhandadze brings him on an undersea line through a gap, a fingertips tackle bringing Matiashvili down.
Abzhandadze again looks for the cross-kick that so nearly worked earlier, but Nicolas Freitas is alive to the threat on this occasion, and claims the mark.
76 minutes
Georgia win a penalty in the Uruguay 22 and a quick tap retains the momentum, with Otari Giorgadze again close with a big carry. Soso Matiashvili and Alexander Todua try to use brains rather than brawn to find their way over, intricate footwork not quite working as Uruguay cover the width well.
And then the turnover is won! Manuel Ardao gets over the top as Giorgadze is cut down after another charge, and the number eight is pinged for holding on.
