Peikrishvili signs for Cardiff Blues

Cardiff Blues have bolstered their pack with the signing of Georgian tight-head prop Anton Peikrishvili.
 

Peikrishvili has previously enjoyed stints at Agen, Castres, Brive and Bayonne, playing in both the Top 14 and European Champions Cup.

Cardiff Blues head coach Danny Wilson said: “It was important that we brought in another tight-head and Anton fits the bill.
 
“Georgia have a tradition of strong packs and as expected he is a strong, scrummaging prop and brings a wealth of senior experience having spent several years in the Top 14, a notoriously attritional league."

The 23-cap international has already arrived in the Welsh capital after signing from Ulster and is available for selection for the remainder of the season.
