Best, who scored Ireland's first try in the 14-10 victory at the Stade Chaban-Delmas, will undergo a scan, with Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan admitting he is concerned by the injury.
O'Sullivan said: "Rory Best's thumb may be problematic. There's always a worry with a dislocation that there is something sinister there. It was quite sore so he will have a scan to make sure everything's okay, but I am concerned by it."
O'Sullivan remains optimistic number eight Denis Leamy will escape punishment following a stamping incident after the player's boot connected with a prone Georgia player during the first half and the citing officer is sure to take a closer look with tomorrow night the deadline for any complaint.
But O'Sullivan said: "You never know because the disciplinary chiefs are being so strict. Denis stood on the guy's toe.
"It looked at the time like he might have been going for someone's head because there was a head very close to the incident. But he stood on the guy's toe and I don't think any action will be taken."
