How many of these younger Georgian players are going to end up playing for France?

Most likely 0 GRU is very careful and precise when it comes to sending players abroad 90% of these guys are playing in France because of the help the got from the union also Georgians are generally less likely to play for other countries. there are exceptions of course like Dimitri Iachvili for example.. but that was because of our neglection and foolishnes back in the day. that wont happen again i think they learned their lesson.
