Semi Radradra (Fiji)

On receiving his award from the son of Fiji captain Dominiko Waqaniburo­tu:

“It was a privilege, an honour, especially to receive such an award from the skipper’s son.”

On enjoying the match:

“I really enjoyed it a lot, especially to get the win.

“There’s still one more game left (against Wales on Wednesday, October 9).”

On coach John McKee seemingly allowing Radradra and winger Josua Tuisova to roam freely:

“We had a licence to roam around the field and we took the opportunit­y today and (I) scored a couple of tries.”

On Fiji taking a big step towards automatic qualificat­ion for RWC 2023: “(It was) very pleasing today. “That was a great effort by the boys and a real arm-wrestle for the first, probably, 45 or 50 minutes, but to come home so strong and score some really good tries is very pleasing.” On his team’s performanc­e: “It’s great to see us scoring some tries out wide and showing our talents to the world.”

Beka Gorgadze (GEO)

On the difference in Georgia’s performanc­e between the first and second half:

“As we saw in the first half we saw that we were competitiv­e against them because the difference in score was minimal. We saw that we could beat them in defense and in attack we were dominating in set-pieces.

“We take all the responsibi­lity, it’s really sad that we lost.”

On the mood in the dressing room: “Our hearts are broken today but we know that we have nothing to lose now, so we’re going to give everything to make our people proud (against Australia) to play better rugby than today.”
