(Reuters) - Italy made life difficult for themselves against Georgia, but bounced back in the second half to claim victory on Sunday, and coach Gonzalo Quesada was content to win a scrappy game even if it didn't quite go according to plan.

Georgia held a 17-6 lead heading into the break, going over for two tries on the rare occasions they managed to make it into Italy's 22, while they held firm when the home side challenged under their posts.
