Nemsadze and Shkinin will Join the "Lelos" for the Match against USA

Another two rugby players joined the Georgian national rugby team before the next meeting. As far as you know, on November 9 Georgian rugby team defeated Canada 19:15 at “Dinamo Arena”.

To be more precise, only Giorgi Nemsadze, second liner of “Tarbes”, will appear in the meeting, because Giorgi Shkinin trained with the team last week. Winger of “Armia” and experienced player, who scored a try against the team of Ireland at the World Cup 2007, was not in the extended lineup against Canada, but in real, he was training with the team. It is not known yet if Irakli Machkhaneli, captain of the team, plays against USA. As you know he injured his ankle in the match against Canada and he was substituted. If the verdict of the doctors is unsatisfactory, then Shkinin will replace him.

On Saturday, Giorgi Nemsadze played in the French 2nd Elite Division in the lineup of the club and his sending for this game was necessary. Still before the match against Canada, Dimitri Basilaia injured at the trainings and he will miss approximately 2 months, and now, also Vito Kolelishvili will miss some time due to his red card, which automatically means minimum 1 week break and because of this he cannot help the team against USA.

Nemsadze had his debut in 2005 against Chile and he celebrated this with a try. He held 31 games and scored 7 tries. As for Shkinin, he played in 2004 against Czech Republic for the first time and after this he scored 6 tries in 35 matches.

The teams of Georgia and USA will meet each other on November 16 at the new stadium of Rustavi. This meeting will start at 14:00 and the ticket price is 3 GEL.
