He has been a key player for Kazakhstan, since his first game, in 2006. He played in their 2011 Rugby World Cup campaign, that led them to be the second-best team from Asia, reaching a repechage game with Uruguay, lost by 44–7. He also played in their disappointing 2015 Rugby World Cup qualifying, where Kazakhstan was eliminated in the first round, not reaching the final stage of the Asia Cup.[1]
