Wasps sign Georgian international Lasha Jaiani
By Ian Cameron
Wasps have signed Georgian international Lasha Jaiani, who featured for the Lelos in the recently concluded Autumn Nations Cup.
The 6'7, 115kg attended the Whitgift School, the rugby nursery that produced Elliot Daly and Danny Cipriani and had been playing for Exeter University RFC.
His signing will help give Wasps cover at lock ahead of the Six Nations and offset the potential loss of Welsh international Will Rowlands, who has been linked with Dean Ryan's Dragons in the PRO14.
Wasps Head Coach Lee Blackett said: “We are delighted to be able to bring Lasha onboard. He will really complement the great group of locks that we already have at the club and we look forward to furthering his development over his time with us.”
Jaiani added: “I’m extremely happy to be joining a club with such great history. It’s an honour to get the opportunity and I’m really excited to get started. Playing for Wasps will enable me to make a step up in my professional career.”
He was a Georgian U20 rep at the 2017 and 2018 Junior World Championships.

Don't worry about him Tom. Idiots don't realise how idiotic they are. It wont be long before he runs his conspiracy the players don't like Joe. People like the fool OJohn are a major part of our problem. No need to worry about the opposition when our supposed supporters are white anting the team and the system.
Go to commentsI look at exactly that way haha.
I’m a massive Blackadder fan when he is injury free and has got some form through regular game time which is about 10 minutes a season.
Havilli is a smaller less skilled version of Jordie barret.
Christie gets far too much of a hard time from the critics.
If we have an injury crisis and lose Roigard, Ratima, Fokotava, Hotham, Xavier Roe, Tahuriorangi, and that young fulla who was the back up for the U20s this year then we’ll all be glad he’s around.
The only thing Razor did that has infuriated me was picking George Bell.
That dude better make Kevin Mealamu look like Stephen Moore by the end of Super Rugby next year if he’s going to get picked again.
