Across five Rugby World Cup appearances, Nariashvili's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive contribution, averaging over six tackles per match and reaching 13 in a single game — a remarkable workload for a front-rower. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting a role built around set-piece physicality and defensive durability rather than ball-in-hand impact. With 247 minutes logged, he consistently delivers the grinding, attritional work that underpins Georgia's forward game.
