After beating Russia 33:0 a large part of the Georgian population and journalists forgot rugby for a year… The Georgian rugby players held open practice before the final match against Romania and there were no video cameras and fans…
It is good that we defeated Russia but Romania is stronger than “Bears”. But it is Georgia and people love rugby because we can beat Russia.
Lasha Khmaladze will not be able to help the team in Bucharest. He injured ribs in the match against Russia. The coaching staff called up Iuri Natriashvili in order to improve playing in lineout. Two years ago Natriashvili held the last match in the national team against Romania.
Davit Kacharava: “On Saturday we will face Romania in final. We almost have equal points and winner will win Nations Cup. It is always tough to play Romania. I think this match will also be tough. Hopefully, the upcoming match will finish in favor of us. Romania lost to Russia and beat Germany. We, as well as Romania, will do the best on 21 March”.
Giorgi Nemsadze: “We made some mistakes in the previous matches and we are working on it now. Iuri Natriashvili has joined the team. Romania is a good team. They failed to Russia but it means nothing. The both teams are preparing for a tough match. Hopefully, everything will finish alright”.
