A try by Vincent Pinto in the 73rd minute, converted by Manuel Vareiro (74), who also scored four penalties (37, 49, 61, 71), allowed Portugal to turn the score around in the second half, after going into halftime losing 12-3.

It was the first victory for the 'wolves' over Georgia since 2005, a year after Portugal won its first title in the competition that the Georgians have won 17 times in 24 editions.
