[nosferatu]

Well, this year's tournament will be held in Bucharest(again :D ), between 7 and 21 June, and these are the participating teams:

Romania
Emerging Springboks
Italy "A"
Georgia
Russia
Uruguay


The fixtures and other news should appear on rugby.ro, probably even before on the irb site.

What chances of Russia of tournament?

[rambler86]

Hi everybody,

Someone knows if and where the IRB Nation's cup Matches could be seen on television?

I'd like to view Emerging Springboks-Italy and Romania-Georgia!

Do you know if Italy has already published the roster of player who will play the tournament?

thanks!

bye!

Search the list of Italia A on Fir web site.
Don't know about tv beacuse i don't think that some italian tv is interested in broadcasting that kind of show.....maybe SI sportitalia....but i haven't seen ads of this event on it.

What chances of Russia of tournament? [/b]

If the tournament would be at the same level as last year's, I'd say none..

But since Argentina A was replaced by the mighty Uruguay and the Springboks aren&#39;t "emerging" from their super14 teams anymore - hell, that bunch isn&#39;t even of Currie Cup quallity, I guess so they could match the quality of their new coach <_< , Chester Williams - anything&#39;s possible.

Personally, I&#39;d go for either Romania or Georgia.

Only a week until it starts.

I&#39;ve seen the match on Eurosport 2...A really good match for the second Italian team,I&#39;m really happy for what they&#39;ve done! :cheers: I really like Paul Derbyshire and Paolo Buso(even if the last one didn&#39;t play very well this match... :nea: )...I think we&#39;ll se they soon also in the First National Team... :)

And you got close to a surprise against the Emerging Springboks, after that try scored with 3 minutes before the whistle. Here are the full results of day two:
Georgia 20-18 Uruguay
Italy A 19-20 Emerging Springboks
Rusia 12-13 Romania

Italy A played very well...I think that players like Paolo Buso and Valerio Bernabò should become part of the first national team...I really like them...

[feicarsinn]

i really dont get the format of this tournament. why do they only play 3 of the other 5 teams

[alexrugby]

That&#39;s the question everyone asks :bleh!:
but nobody answers :bleh!:
so we have just to sit and watch games 3 out of 5 :bleh!:
anyway we can push our heads on :wall: but without results :bleh!: so
we just sit and take it easy :P
especially if our team gets high in standings :cheers:
