Georgia's Seven European Rugby Elites - European Championship of Rugby Begins
Georgia's Historic Run in 7-Player Rugby and European Championship 2022
It's time to shine the spotlight on the Georgian 7-player rugby team, who left no stone unturned in making history during the European Championship 2022. In July and November, our squad faced off against Italy and Wales, respectively, scoring significant victories [1].
July saw Georgia shock the rugby world with an unforgettable 28–19 win against Italy, marking the first-ever defeat of a Tier 1 rugby nation by Georgia. The month of November brought yet another monumental moment as we triumphed over Wales with a narrow 13–12 victory in Cardiff [1].
As for the European Championship, Georgia reigned supreme, defending their title with only a single draw, solidifying their status as the dominant force in the tournament [1]. The team's opponents included Italy, Wales (notably from outside the Championship), as well as regular competition against European rivals like Spain, Romania, and others.
While the specific 7s rugby schedule for 2022 hasn't been fully documented, you can get an idea of the opposition and venues the team faced in more recent European Championship competitions [1]. Here's what a typical Championship schedule might look like:
- Matches against Spain, Romania, Netherlands, and other European nations.
- For example, in March 2025, Georgia squared off against Spain (16 March 2025, Mikheil Meskhi Stadium, Tbilisi), Romania (2 March 2025, Avchala Stadium, Tbilisi), and faced off against the Netherlands and Switzerland in Tbilisi and Madrid [1].
Let's not forget that these exact 2025 fixtures may not resemble the 2022 schedule, but they give us a glimpse into the kind of teams and locations Georgia usually challenged during the Europe Championship.
The Georgian rugby team's 2022 campaign was a thrilling mix of historic victories, unwavering dominance in the European Championship, and fierce competition against European opponents. Keep an eye out for more updates on their ongoing and future adventures on the rugby pitch!
