Montpellier continue to build formidable pack with Abuladze signing
By Francisco Isaac
Georgian international Nika Abuladze is close to signing a deal with Top14 side Montpellier, moving from the Exeter Chiefs to Bernard Laporte’s setup just one year after joining the Gallagher Premiership side, as reported by French media.
The 28-year-old loosehead prop landed in Devon in April 2023, but has never established himself as a first-team option, and has failed as well to be an impactful replacement in his one year at the club. This situation ultimately led to his decision to leave Rob Baxter’s forward pack and try his luck over in France's top division.
Before his short stint in Exeter, Abuladze played for the Georgian franchise Black Lion, successfully winning two Rugby Europe Super Cups and earning his first caps for the Lelos in 2022. He was vital in forcing a scrum penalty in the famous victory over Wales in Cardiff, fueling his pro career from that day forward.
He was included in Levan Maisashvili’s 33-man squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup, starting in one match, and playing two more games in Georgia’s World Cup campaign.
In his new club, he will find fellow Georgian teammates Vano Karkadze and Luka Japaridze, adding yet more ballast to Laporte’s squad, which is seemingly rebuilding after a dismal 2023/2024 performance.
Montpellier are still fighting to clinch a spot in next season's Top14, as the club lingers in 13th place, with four games to go. If the Les Cistes aren’t able to overtake Bayonne, they will be forced to play a play-off match against the Pro D2 runner-up, with the winner earning a place in the 2024/2025 Top14.
This will be Abuladze’s first adventure in France, and it comes at the best possible moment if the front-row wants to rejoin the Georgian national setup, after failing to be included in Richard Cockerill’s plans for the Men’s Rugby Europe Championship 2023.
The contract will have a duration of two seasons.

My name is Alan Criner, and I'm a resident of Toronto, CA. I'm a 45-year-old financial analyst who has always been cautious with my investments. However, in my quest to diversify my portfolio, I fell prey to a devastating fake crypto investment scam, losing 125,000 Canadian dollars' worth of Bitcoin. This traumatic experience sent my life into a downward spiral, leaving me depressed and feeling hopeless.
Despite my repeated attempts to contact the account manager who initially approached me on Telegram, I was met with silence. They refused to provide any explanation or information, and I was locked out of my account on their website. The authorities were unable to assist me, as the scammers were untraceable.
Just when I thought all was lost, my nephew, a Canadian government lawyer, introduced me to Morphohack Cyber Service, a reputable private investigator and crypto recovery company. I visited their website (www . morphohackcyber . com) and, after mustering the courage, contacted them. They listened attentively as I recounted my ordeal and educated me on the scam, revealing that numerous others had fallen victim to the same scheme.
Although skeptical at first, I decided to take a chance. Morphohack guided me through the process, instructing me to set up a new wallet. To my astonishment, they successfully recovered my stolen Bitcoin and transferred it to my new wallet. I was stunned, struggling to comprehend how this was possible.
I initially wanted to keep this experience private, but I realized that there may be others out there who have suffered similar losses. If you're a victim of crypto theft, I urge you to reach out to Morphohack Cyber Service. They can be contacted through their website or email.
