The Wallabies took another step forward but were pushed all the way by a Georgian side that refused to go away.
Ultimately, the class of the side shone through to secure the 11-point win and their undefeated start to the season.
Tickets for the 2024 Wallabies home Test season are available here.
So what did we learn?
Joe Schmidt will be pleased to end the July series undefeated but needs the Wallabies to find another gear to take on the Rugby Championship.
There were moments of brilliance but self-enforced errors that allowed Georgia back into the match.
Tate McDermott admitted it was a step back in defence as they let in a trio of second-half tries.
They need to find a way to play at that high level consistently as they prepare for the Springboks next month.
But the signs are there of a team on the rise.
Georgia doesn’t have a name to be feared but they leave Sydney with respect.
They took their chances when presented and didn’t stop away when they went down players or points.
Their pathways are starting to deliver talented players that can match it with the best as shown in the 20s.
Performances like this show they’re on the right path and why they deserve more games like this.
Rob Valetini and Fraser McReight have to be in contention for two of the best backrowers in the world.
Valetini is a physical monster and bashed the Georgian pack all night in attack and defence.
Meanwhile, McReight was everywhere, whether it was getting turnovers or making the critical break to flip momentum.

They were joined in kind by Isaac Kailea, who was great, whilst the lock duo of Angus Blyth and Nick Frost shored up the rolling maul.
It will face a greater test against the Springboks but another positive step forward.
The bounce of the Rugby ball is cruel at times, with the Wallabies feeling its wrath twice in multiple minutes.
Davit Niniashvili was gifted a perfect bounce that somehow landed right in the fullback's hands to race away and score.
Aka Tabutsandze then marched his effort with an incredible solo try, kicking from his own 22 to regather and sprint from Darby Lancaster and Tom Wright.
In past times, these moments have haunted the Wallabies so credit to their mentality to stay patient and come away with the win.
With positions up for grabs in the halves, Tate McDermott and Ben Donaldson had opposite performances.
McDermott brought real pace around the ruck as he wore out the Georgians close to the ruck.
He’ll press Jake Gordon to start after the Waratahs’ scrumhhalf strong opening two Tests.
Meanwhile, Donaldson was far from his player-of-the-match performance at the World Cup.
His kicking game struggled in general play with a number of misdirected efforts, including missing touch early on.
Noah Lolesio missed a similar kick late to give Joe Schmidt plenty to ponder.
