Rugby World Cup 2011 Preview- Russia

The next of my rugby world cup previews is about the new faces to the world cup, Russia. In a pool with Australia, Ireland, Italy, and USA, many predict the Russians to finish last in their pool, but the Churchill cup showed us they are capable of far more...

russsia won't even win one game in the world cup

[rvdrocks]

@10georgian they can, against USA.

Though a lot has changed since I made this video, Italy (another team I thought Russia could upset) have hugely improved their backline, and I didn't see exactly what went wrong when they got a 70-point drubbing against Japan, and one game doesn't tell everything, but surely that doesn't show good signs for Russia.

But they have a professional league which helps, and they looked good in the Churchill Cup.

Agree with you :) im russian,and i also don't know many about this game.I know only that this game love americans,such as american football.

[STASfromSPB]

Rugby is not popular in Russia .99.99 percent of russians do not even know what this game is about and what it правила.Я like a normal football ,where the play normal,talented and smart люди.А in american football in my opinion play some отморозки.И well that at the thugs love to watch only in america.

[WeLikeDanceMusic]

ahahah big rivalry two countries hate each other gona be lots of fights lol

[LoboLoko007]

I had no idea Russia played the USA before.

I am very interested in this match between these 2 countries because of the "history" these 2 have against each other; it is a bit like USA-Mexico or Argentina-Brazil in football.

it is going to be a close match but IMO I would say that USA has a slightly advantage.
