Re-reading that post couple of days ago reminded me that I forgot to post about French rugby player of Georgian origin Dimitri Yachvili who appeared in one of earlier editions of Dieux du Stade.
(Wikipedia) Dimitri Yachvili (born 19 September 1980 in Brive-la-Gaillarde, Corrèze) is a French rugby union footballer who currently plays scrum-half for Biarritz and France.Enjoy! ;))
Of Georgian descent, his father Michel was a French international before him. His paternal grandfather was a Georgian POW during the WWII in France who escaped and subsequently participated in the French resistance in the province of Limousin. Dimitri's brother Grégoire chose to play for the Georgian national team.
Fabulous looking guy! Why don't uk Rugby players look like this??
