Val Rapava-Ruskin arrived at Gloucester Rugby in the summer of 2017 after catching the eye of many admirers during a spell with Worcester Warriors.

The Georgian born prop possesses a powerful scrummaging game combined with mobility around the pitch and is a real nuisance at the breakdown where he is capable of winning key turnovers.

Rapava-Ruskin played 16 times for Gloucester Rugby in the 2020/21 season and with each season that passes, his experience and leadership become more and more valuable to the Cherry and Whites.
