So, You Want to Count Rugby Clubs in Georgia? Hold My Khachapuri!
Ah, Georgia! Land of ancient history, delicious dumplings (khachapuri, anyone?), and a surprising hotbed for... rugby? That's right, this little Caucasus country punches well above its weight when it comes to the world of rucking and mauling.
But just how many rugby clubs are there in Georgia, you ask? Well, buckle up comrade, because we're about to dive into a scrum of statistics (although, with khachapuri involved, maybe more like a scrummy snack break).

By the Numbers: The Great Georgian Rugby Tally
According to the wise folks at Wikipedia (who definitely haven't been bribed with a year's supply of churchkhela, a Georgian candy), there are approximately 68 rugby clubs scattered across Georgia. That's a pretty impressive number for a country with a population that wouldn't crack the top 100 in the world.
Now, here's the kicker: These 68 clubs are like mini-me versions of their international counterpart, the mighty Lelos (that's the nickname for the Georgian national team, by the way). They're passionate, they're fierce, and they'll happily drag you into a touch rugby match after a celebratory toast with some Georgian vino.

Beyond the Numbers: The True Spirit of Georgian Rugby
Of course, numbers only tell part of the story. Georgian rugby is more than just a sport; it's a cultural phenomenon. It's about community, camaraderie, and the sheer joy of a good brawl... well, maybe not a brawl exactly, but a spirited competition.
Imagine this: a crisp autumn day in Tbilisi, the sun glinting off the Mtkvari River, and the sounds of a fierce but friendly rugby match echoing through the park. Afterwards, everyone gathers for a celebratory feast (because in Georgia, every occasion deserves a feast) filled with laughter, stories, and enough khachapuri to feed a small army.
That's the true magic of Georgian rugby.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
