Milton Haig, head coach of Georgian rugby national team, chose 28 rugby players for the most important test-matches in November.

Recall, that “The Lelos” awaits three the most complicated games in November. On November 9 national team of Canada will visit Tbilisi, on November 16 Georgian team will host USA in Rustavi, and on November 23 they play against the team of Samoa in Tbilisi. Some rugby players are missing due to their traumas, but the specialist from New Zealand is still satisfied with the choice.

“I would like to denote, that we gathered a well-balanced team, which is staffed with experienced players. The team is playing with this staff already for two years. Unfortunately, because of injuries, call failed to several players, but we will have an opportunity to replace them with other players. We have three most complicated matches in November, because we play against very good teams. We will prepare well and will hold theses three matches with self-confidence” – said Haig to the official website of Georgian Rugby Union.
