[QUOTE="Croket66, post: 1008561, member: 58839"] Georgia team : 1. [B]Mikheil Nariashvili (Montpellier, 62 caps)[/B] One of the top loosehead prop in the World. A very strong scrummager that earns 35 Champions Cup games and close than 150 Top14 games as a regular starter. 2. [B]Shalva Mamukashvili (Leicester, 75 caps)[/B] By signing for Leicester, Mamukashvili joined his 5th top flight club after Sale, Glasgow, Montpellier and Toulon. He is ok in his role. 3. [B]Beka Gigashvili (Toulon, 14 caps)[/B] Starting rugby at 20 and arrived in France is third division as an amateur, his power impressed everyone, he signed for Grenoble in second division the following year and took a big role in their promotion in Top14 then he was signed by Toulon where he is an important player 4. [B]Lasha Jaiani (Exeter Uni, 2 caps)[/B] The 22 years old lock spent years in England, first at Whitgift School and then at University of Exeter. This big unit was selected by Georgia U20 and was a standout player that opened him the doors of the national team. 5. [B]Grigor Kerdikoshvili (Lelo Tbilisi, 2 caps)[/B] Very surprised to see a so inexperienced second row. Kerdikoshvili lived in USA and was engaged with US Air Force where he played for rugby team, as... flyhalf. He stayed in USA and joined professional team Glendale Raptors and played MLR before being selected for national team. A bit light tbh 6. [B]Giorgi Tkhilaishvili (Batumi, 58 caps)[/B] A bit surprised to see a local player starting flanker, Georgia have so many young prospect at professional level but Tkhilaishvili is a strong defender that played pas two RWC 7. [B]Beka Saghinadze (Aurillac, 13 caps)[/B] The 22 years old does his scales in french ProD2, where he signed after some strong U20 World Championship games. He is known as a very good tackler 8. [B]Beka Gorgadze (Bordeaux, 28 caps)[/B] Born 1996, Beka Gorgadze is one of the most skilled forward that Georgia ever had. He is playing his third season for Top14 side Bordeaux [MEDIA=youtube]2UgOv1Z_eiw[/MEDIA] 9. [B]Gela Aprasidze (Montpellier, 26 caps)[/B] Very happy with this choice as Aprasidze is IMO the most talented back Georgia have. Most people discovered him thanks to his sensational try against Ireland U20. The 22 years old Top14 player can also kick from both foot, including from +50m [MEDIA=twitter]876406042053292033[/MEDIA] 10.

[B]Merab Sharikadze (unattached, 67 caps CAPTAIN)[/B] A skilled and talented player. Sharikadze studied in Hartpury College for two years and made some appearance for Gloucester U19. Then he joined ProD2 and was the starting centre for Aurillac for 5 years. He decided to leave Aurillac, having good contacts with stronger teams but a nasty injury combined to covid stopped his plan 13. [B]Giorgi Kveseladze (Armazi Marneuli, 25 caps)[/B] A "never give up" profile with obvious abilities to break the line, and for offload. Also a fan of thumping tackles [MEDIA=youtube]ZOtVe7haCCg[/MEDIA] 14. [B]Akaki Tabutsadze (Lelo Saracens, 3 caps)[/B] I was surprised to see him called up for national team last year but he already scored 5 tries from his first three caps 15. [B]Lasha Khmaladze (Batumi, 83 caps)[/B] He was the starting flyhalf for years but Abzhandadze's performances pushed him at #15. Irregular player unfortunately [MEDIA=twitter]879304620841066496[/MEDIA] 16. Jaba Bregvadze (unattached [last:Sunwolves], 59 caps 17. Guram Gogichashvili (Racing92, 15 caps) 18.
