Merab Kiknadze

This lightning-quick Georgian full-back is a powerhouse who dominates wingers with relentless aggression, though his penchant for failing to time a slide tackle often leaves his teammates cringing. To center his ego, he insists on loudly reciting Georgian epic poetry in the tunnel, a baffling ritual that leaves his colleagues rolling their eyes before kickoff. Despite his clumsy tackling, his sheer physicality and explosive recovery speed make him a cocky nightmare for any opposing attack.
