I'm delighted this is finally confirmed, now Georgiacan field an entire pack with players in the top leagues

Basilaia had a great World Cup, and I'm sure that Scotland had a few bruises after playing against him

awesome!

Croket66, do you know how close Kolelishvili is to actually playing for Clermont, he signed a new contract but still plays most with the Espoirs squad, he's impressed when playing with Georgia though

that young number 8 from the Gloucester also looked useful in the Georgia "A" tour

 

[Croket66]

Kolelishvili play with espoirs but he just signed a full pro contrat still 2014

For Giorgi Tkesheliadze, wait, he plays for Hartpury College, and train with Gloucester, he is born in 1991, he is young, wait few years

Kolelishvili should be starting to play with the senior team now though and make the breakthrough like Bardy has done, he's been in the Espoirs a while now, maybe with Audebert retiring he could get more opportunities

Well if he joins endinburgh Worcester should take back talei Edinburgh won't need him anymore
