35-year-old Botha broke his leg in a match between Toulouse and Montpellier
earlier this month, in yet another in a long line of injuries for Toulouse. He
joins fellow South Africans Gurthro Steenkamp and Daan Human on the injured
list.
As a result, the signing of Giorgadze is expected to strengthen the team, as he
is considered one of the world's most skilled hookers. Toulouse is set to make
his debut for Toulouse against Bayonne today (Friday, December 30).
Giorgadze brings vast experience and skill to the club, much of which he gained
playing for another French rugby club Castres, as well as when he represented
his home nation Georgia in the prestigious Rugby World Cup tournament.
Toulouse Boasts Several Ex- Boks
Toulouse seems to be raiding the Springbok team for players and has had top
rugby players like Gary Botha and Daan Human play on their team. However, both
these players will not be able to play in the match against Bayonne as even Daan
Human succumbed to injury while playing against Montpellier.
Human incurred a fracture after Montepellier player, Thibaut Privat punched
him in the left eye. The player is being treated for a fracture of his left eye
socket bone and is expected to need a month recovery period.
