Merab Kvirikashvili

Merab "Meko" Kvirikashvili strikes me as the beating heart of Georgian rugby. Born in Tbilisi in 1983, he evolved from scrum-half to fly-half, even covering fullback, and stands as his nation's all-time leading points scorer, a staggering achievement for any kicker. That he turned out across fifteens, sevens and rugby league for Georgia speaks to a player who simply refused to stop serving his country. I am also charmed that he carries an engineer's mind off the pitch. Carrying a rising rugby nation on the strength of his boot, year after year, commands my sincere admiration.
