Who would be in your team Toko? You can tell me the clubs if you want, but I can't edit seeing as it's in the world cup section. Thanks anyway

 

[Toko_11]

Giorgi Jgenti of montpellier(prop),
Grigol labadze former Toulon N6,
Simon Maisuradze plays in france but not in Top 14
Anton Feikrishvili of Castres.
and last but not least Beso Udesiani N8, Very important player but injured unfortunately.
these names probably don't say much to you but trust me these are some very important players for Georgia.

@Toko_11

you want Jgenti and Peikrishvili in the team, but Georgia have so many props some of the pro props had to miss out

Jgenti has a stronger case than Peikrishvili, but which prop would you drop for them?

bearing in mind the potential of Kakovin

personally I might of had Jgenti for Shvelidze maybe, but that's it

(Jgenti instead of Shvelidze is exactly what i had in mind)
omitting Jgenti from the squad was a surprise for me. But As far as props go we are doing just fine so not many people had a lot to complain about, The reason why I wanted to see jgenti on the world cup is because he is young and just had a great season.

Although the most Shocking decision was to leave Labadze at home, He is not only the most experienced player but also Great on line outs, and he is the brain of the team. when Labadze is on the pitch the whole squad is more organised and determined. without him they make a lot more mistakes. The coach said that he wanted to give the younger players a chance but that contradicts with what he said about Jgenti. Anyway I hope Richie Dixon knows what he is doing.
And I know I wrote Peikrishvili but i meant our first choice Hooker Irakli Natriashvili.
So we wont have Natriashvili and Labadze I'm not sure how we are going to win line outs, That was always one of our strengths but now I'm not sure
