The very good news came at the beginning of the afternoon: after three months of convalescence, Beka Gigashvili will finally return to the field. Aligned on the bench against the Stormers (Saturday at 4:30 p.m.), the Georgian right pillar leaves behind his injury and his adductor operation.
Excellent news for the player but also for the Toulon Rugby club, which will thus be able to rotate a little in a position where Kyle Sinckler and Emerick Setiano have not yet had the freedom to rest since the start of the season. As proof, during the first eleven days of the championship, the England international has already played 575 minutes of play.
The return of Beka Gigashvili therefore comes at the right time for the RCT. “It's nice. For him first, because he's been carrying this problem for a while, and we're happy that he's recovered. But also for us, because we know what Beka brings to us in melee, in the game and in combat. This is really good news for everyone..” rejoiced Gaël Dréan, starter for this first day of the Champions Cup.
