With less than a month left before the Rugby Sevens European Championships in Hanover, team Russia have been aiming to book a spot at the event at the final preliminary stage on their home soil.
Let's get realistic, it will take us years and years to get to the level of the Northern Hemisphere experts like Ireland, Wales and France before even thinking of the world leaders like New Zealand, South Africa and Austrailia. Sevens is one thing, fifteen a side is something completely different. We can rejoice at this win, and lets hope for better and higher things, we can do it, but we need the coaching infrastructure, facilities and time to deliver on it. It is encouraging to see more and more sports being developed in Russia to cater for everyone. A CIS Lions team woudl be something interesting to contemplate. BTW well done South Africa! A total anihilation of English scrummaging against the Lions!
