It is all change for Lelos

The personnel changes follow his team's loss to New Zealand.

Apart from the 10 changes to the starting XV, there are two positional changes among the five players retained.

The starting XV against Namibia will be the Lelos' most experienced at a World Cup, with 693 caps, beating the 654 selected in the last match against New Zealand.

All of the forward pack have been changed - seven personnel and one positional change - with only captain Mamuka Gorgodze retaining his place, but moving back to No.8.

In the backs, the World Cup's youngest player, 18-year-old Vasil Lobzhanidze, returns at scrumhalf along with inside centre Merab Sharikadze and fullback Merab Kvirikashvili.

Tamaz Mchedlidze switches back to the right wing, where he played the first two World Cup matches, from inside centre.

Fourteen of the starting 15 against Namibia started against both Tonga and Argentina, with only left wing Giorgi Aptsiauri dropping to the bench to be replaced by Alexander Todua, the starting left wing against New Zealand.

Merab Kvirikashvili will win his 88th cap and have a chance to further extend his Georgia record of 660 points.

Kvirikashvili will play the 15th World Cup match of his career and will become only the second player from a tier two team to reach that milestone. Brian Lima played 18 matches for Samoa across five World Cups.

Of the 31 players currently in Georgia's squad, two will not play a match at this year's tournament.

They are scrumhalf Vazha Khutsishvili and flyhalf Lasha Khmaladze.

The latter played at the 2011 World Cup, but Khutsishvili leaves the tournament without a World Cup cap to his credit.

Captain Mamuka Gorgodze will start his 11th World Cup match, a new record for Georgia.
