After the end of European Six Nations and Nations Cup Official website of International Rugby Board (IRB) evaluated last two months and wrote warm words toward Georgian national team.
“The Lelos” kept the first place at Nations Cup 2015 and in the qualifying stage of World Cup 2015. Winning over Spain 61:18 caused great approval. Specialists compare our team to that Italian team which beat France and Ireland this year.
“Strong boys who were brought up in France play for the Georgian team. Now, they are on that way where Italian team was several years ago. The Georgians have talent to equalize teams of great rugby countries. Now it is important to play open match and they try to play it.
In 2003 the Georgian team proved that it has physically strong rugby players. If you play physical rugby against them, nothing good is waiting for you. It happened to the Irish team at World Cup 2007”.
