They are the most feared flankers in the French Top 14 competition.
On Sunday morning at Stade de Bourdeaux, they’ll be at each other again but this time at the Rugby World Cup 2023 clash.
For the Flying Fijians, the ‘Demolition Man’ Levani Botia has been named to man openside flanker’s berth while Georgia has opted for Beka Saghinadze.
The 24-year-old, who plays for Lyon alongside Josua Tuisova, is often dubbed the ‘Monster from Georgia’. This is a must-win bonus point clash for both teams if they are to qualify from Pool C to play in the RWC quarterfinal.
