Yeah, i think same with USA players, Leagues in Russia and USA just too small, and qulaity not good
Interesting game…. Russia letting the forwards do the yards and milk the penalties, the USA trying to stretch the Ruskies out wide
31 @ Sharks_forever:
Number of the USA okes playing in Japan and in the UK
Try, USA Flyhalf….
Can see Todd Clever learnt some rugga here in SA!
USA 14 / 6 Russia
problem is they get very little time playing together as a team?
36 @ Sharks_forever:
Yip!
Defensive penalty to the States… scrappy kick to touch
USA ripping the Ruskies to shreds in the backline
USA scrully to much in a hurry, making a lot of mistakes, costing the USA
scrummy that is
40 @ Sharks_forever:
If the Eagles could handle better, they would put a big score up against the technically naiive Ruskies
Penalty to the Bears.. longish one… to posts
The Russian flyhalf is a good kicker
Over… no goal kicking problems
USA 14 / 9 Russia
44 @ Sharks_forever:
Russian Fullback doing the kicking
Kalishnikov’s cousin… Klyuchnikov…. hehehe
Todd Clever took a not-so-clever knock to the noggin!
@ grootblousmile:
😆 thanks
And yeah Clever got headbonked lol
Never even knew this game was on. Is it worth watching?
silly mistakes are really costing the USA
Jeeez, the Russian midfield leaks like a sieve… or like an old russian woman’s handbag
GE Senor Pooms 😆
49 @ Puma:
Yeah, fark…. join us!
Penalty USA… man taken out in the air at the lineout…. Yellow Card
Missed… was a relatively easy kick too
@ grootblousmile:
😆
Lots of Kov’s and Mov’s in the Ruskie team… hehehe
Poor reffereeing there, no release from the Russians
Fokkov did not release there… hehehe
