Can you guess the three Georgians (Kavkaz) in this group of French rugby players from Gascony?

I thought this was interesting because Gascony has a Baskid component to it, while Georgia has a Mtebid component, so two polar opposite sides of European mountain types that share somewhat a similar morphology - I mean in the same way they have a similar morphology to East Euro Dinarids and Armenoids. For some reason, it's not rare to see Georgians on French rugby teams.

Almost all of the French have Gascon/Occitain-specific surnames with the exception of three or so with northern French surnames.

Three guys who have Spanish/Portuguese surnames even though they look have French first names and look no different than locals, were removed:

Nos 4, 17 and 33?

**Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas** · 10-30-2023, 10:28 PM

Number 7, 19 and 28.

1) No not 4.

2) Just to be clear you mean the blond @ 17 right, bottom center? If so then no, but real good guess.

Spoiler!

3) You got 33 right! Top far right. How did you know? He looks the most Eastern European to me.

Spoiler!

Good guess you got 28 right - the bottom left guy, but not the other two. He has a pretty Georgian look in my opinion.

Spoiler!

Number 33 is a very Georgian face. I watch a lot of rugby and loads of Georgian ones look like that.

His eyes gave it away. I also thought about the number 33 that Tooting got right but I was not 100% sure. I get what you say Eastern Euro look but for a Georgian he looks to me rather more Western shifted. This to me is a more stereotypical Georgian\Caucasian look:

I get you. Any guess for the last one?

Yeah, this guy is a pretty common South Caucasus dude.

Also, I get why you said the first guy here:

Spoiler!

I think this is a good example of what I mean by the overlap between Dinarized mountain types. I think he could easily be from the Caucasus area, but also from around the Pyrenees at the same time.

Could the French guys on the team pass completely in Portugal by the way?

Anymore guesses for the last one?

Bro, if he is a stereotypical Georgian, then I am a pure African. A very strange idea of stereotypical Georgians. A typical Georgian, especially a Western Georgian, is me. And this guy looks more like an Armenian or an Iranian, for me personally.
