Lasha Khmaladze: "I Have Never Been in Such a Good Shape before"

Lasha Khmaladze, fly half of the Georgian national rugby union team and “Lelo Saracens” Tbilisi, talked to “World Sport” about preparation stages.

- The team held two preparation stages. Chambers of -120 degrees Celsius caused a great interest. What did you feel after the therapy?

- We thought it was impossible to go into the chamber but it turned out to be possible to stand 2-3 minutes in it. It was very cold there but we felt good after. As for the preparation period, everything went well. I am very delighted with the result. I have a progress. I have never been in such a good shape before.

- So, the team will be in better shape than four years ago.

- I think we are at higher level now.

- Have you worked on tactic?

- We have not worked on tactic during the first preparation period. The second period had some tactical elements. Soon we will hold friendly matches and it is time to know what we will do on the field.

- Tonga and Argentina have already announced compositions. What should we expect from four matches of World Cup?

- I have not seen their compositions. We are preparing for the matches and we will fight for victory.
