DIMITRI YACHVILI

Born: 19.09.80
Height: 6ft
Weight: 12st 10lb
Position: Scrum-half
Club: Biarritz
Caps: 7
Points: 36

Widely seen as a long-term half-back partner for Frederic Michalak, Yachvili is very much one for the future.

Yet to dismiss him as too green for Test level is a big mistake - this kid is ready to shine at the highest level.

Yachvili is an astute tactician despite his young age and rarely chooses the wrong option with ball in hand.

Has the ability to kick goals when necessary and will ensure veteran skipper Fabien Galthie is kept on his toes.
