“Edinburgh” Dimitri Basilaia, player of the Georgian national rugby union team, beat “Benetton” of Italy in the 6^th round of “Celtic League”. The Georgian legionary played at high level and earned try assist.

Two weeks ago the 27-year-old “Lelo” played a key role in beating “Munster” at “Heineken Cup”. But he had injury and did not play against “Perpignan”. Basilaia was in lineup against “Treviso” but was substituted at the 38^th minute because of injury.

In spite of great advantage, “Edinburgh” won the half 10:3. At the 67^th minute the Italians restored balance (13:13) but the hosts scored try at the 74^th minute and won 20:13.

Basilaia plays regularly this year. Hopefully, his injury will not be serious and will help the Georgian national team in November. As for “Celtic League”, it has 8 points and is in the 10^th place. The team will host “Zebre” of Italy on 2 November.
