[QUOTE="Croket66, post: 547832, member: 58839"] You're right, Georgia needs a higher domestic league. But, i'm not sure Scottish Premiership is higher than Georgian Premiership. There are some good players from Georgian Premiership, about one tier of the national team is from Georgian Premiership. In Georgia, money is high (1€ = 2.24 GEL) but salaries are very low, and the country is poor. I think Georgia haven't money to create 2 franchises like Edinburgh and Glasgow. And even if they have this money, in wich league can they play?... This is unfortunate because there are many professional players from Georgian! 12 georgians are playing in Top14 1 in RaboDirect Pro12 19 in ProD2 and a lot in french academies Even if apart 2 players, all these professionnal players are forwards, mostly are playing prop. Take a look about the team to face Belgium :[TABLE="class: forumline, width: 100%"] [TR="class: post"] [TD="class: row1, width: 100%, bgcolor: #FFFFFF, colspan: 2"][TABLE="width: 100%"] [TR] [TD="colspan: 2"]1.Mikheil Nariashvili (Montpellier HRC, 1990) 2.Shalva Mamukashvili (Army Tbilissi, 1988) 3.Davit Kubriashvili (RC Toulon, 1986) 4.Giorgi Chkhaidze (Tarbes PR, 1980, capitaine) 5.Konstantin Mikautadze (RC Toulon, 1991) 6.Vito Kolelishvili (ASM Clermont, 1989) 7.Mamuka Gorgodze (Montpellier HRC, 1984) 8.Dimitri Basilaia (Edinburgh Rugby, 1985) 9.Giorgi Begadze (Batumi XV, 1986) 10.Merab Kvirikashvili (AS St Junien, 1983) 11.Tamaz Mchedlidze (Stade Montois, 1993) 12.Merab Sharikadze (Hartpury College Gloucester, 1993) 13.Davit Kacharava (Stade Rodez, 1985) 14.Sandro Todua (SC Albi, 1987) 15.Beka Tsiklauri (Lokomotiv Tbillissi, 1989) 16.Revaz Belkania (Lelo Tbilissi, 1982) 17.Davit Khinchagishvili (CA Brive, 1982) 18.Levant Chilachava (RC Toulon, 1991) 19.Shalva Sutiashvili (RC Massy, 1984) 20.Beka Bitsadze (Army Tbilissi, 1991) 21.Vazha Khutsishvili (Kharebi Rustavi, 1993) 22.Lasha Khmaladze (Lelo Tbilissi, 1988) 23.Giorgi Pruidze (Aia Kutaisi, 1994)[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] And Georgia will play without his best tight five : Kakovin (Toulouse) - Natriashvili (Brive)/Bregvadze (Toulouse) - Zirakashvili (Clermont)/Jgenti (Montpellier) Datunashvili (Aurillac) - Nemsadze (Tarbes)/Maisuradze(Albi) Line up v.
