BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - Fiji coach Simon Raiwalui will not allow himself to think about a Rugby World Cup quarter-final just yet but, having seen his side roll up their sleeves and fight for a gritty 17-12 win over Georgia in Bordeaux, he knows they are almost there.

Fiji will have their knockout phase place confirmed on Sunday if Australia win without a bonus-point against Portugal in their final Pool C fixture in Saint-Etienne, but the Pacific Islanders will likely need a single point when they meet the Portuguese in Toulouse next Sunday.
