Nikoloz Narmania

Georgian forward play has long been founded on physical confrontation, and Nikoloz Narmania carries that tradition into the back row at RC Toulon. Born on 13 September 2000, the flanker is defined by hard, committed tackling and a relentless work rate in the loose. He thrives in the contact area, contesting the breakdown and providing the kind of defensive grit that underpins a competitive forward pack. Narmania's qualities have not gone unnoticed at international level, where he has earned caps for Georgia, adding to the famous physicality of the Lelos. At Toulon he serves as a defensive enforcer, taking on the unglamorous work that allows others to flourish. Combative and durable, Narmania represents the steady supply of robust forwards that has made Georgian rugby increasingly respected on the European stage. Playing his club rugby in the Top 14 exposes him to a relentless physical contest week after week, an environment well suited to his confrontational style. For both Toulon and the Lelos, Narmania offers the dependable, uncompromising graft that allows more expansive players around him to thrive, and his blend of club and international experience continues to round out his game as a modern back-row forward.
