Khmaladze plays an unusually ball-carrying version of fly half, averaging six carries per match and consistently gaining territory through his own hands rather than simply directing traffic. His metres-per-game figures hold up across five World Cup appearances, pointing to a reliable rather than flash-in-the-pan output. A peak of nine tackles in a single match also suggests he is not shy of defensive responsibility when the game demands it.
