I am Ukrainian, but currently live in the USA. I am not a very frequent visitor to this forum, but good to see another Kievan here. Sorry for the offtopic.

Even though the IRB is issuing upbeat press releases about preparations for the 2013 Sevens RWC in Moscow, there are rumors in the Russian media that the IRB is quietly preparing a plan B to move the tournament to Hong Kong if Moscow is not ready. The main problems with Moscow include serious...

Awesome atmosphere at the Russia-Spain match in Moscow. Standing room only at the small Slava stadium.

National highschool and college championships are on webcast this weekend. Streaming available here: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/765576450/Live-streaming-rugby-College-Division-I-AA-and-Division-II-championships-Utah-high-school-and-club.html The D1-A final of BYU vs. ASU will be on...

Hi Zachary and welcome the forum. There is no unified "rugby TV schedule" since bits of rugby are shown on different channels. In general, the situation with rugby broadcasts has been slowly improving over the past few years, but rugby is still far from being a "mainstream" sport, unfortunately...

Another big disappointment for Russian rugby fans as according to the 2012 club schedule most matches will be played on weekdays! It seems that Russian rugby managers have no interest in attracting spectators to their games. http://rurugby.ru/competitions/russia15/800-rugby-russia-2012-calendar

There haven't been any news about Krasnodemsky's and Chaika's status, but two other Ukrainian players from Odessa - flanker Ruslan Radchuk and flyhalf Denis Masyukov have been signed for 1 year by Russian club Imperia (Penza).

That news story is very unreliable because it was written by Brian Lowe who is notorious for overhyping League and putting down Union. I was hoping for some news from independent sources.

Does anyone know if Phil Thiel is completely finished with rugby? He did a pretty good job in the front row at RWC, and he is still young enough to be close to prime age for 2015 World Cup (should be age 31 then). I heard he was flirting with the idea of playing rugby league? It is a shame if...

Yes, rugby salaries are OK compared to regular office workers, enough for a comfortable middle-class lifestyle, but rugby will not make you rich in a few years like the NFL. Most non-international professional rugby players have to start working regular jobs after retiring from rugby, because...

Two Ukrainian players, winger/fullback Vitaly Krasnodemsky and prop Yevhen Chaika from Odessa were given a trial by top Russian club VVA. No contracts signed yet, but Odessa rugby club president Oleg Etnarovich has already said that his club is not afraid of losing top players to foreign...

This is a very broad question, but I'll try to give a brief answer. As White Bear said, the top level of Russian club competition includes 10 teams, and for the most part they are fully professional, meaning that players and coaches get paid salaries by the club and do not have to hold side jobs...

Yeah, that's pretty funny that they called Krasny Yar a semi-professional club. But if you consider that they get paid full-time salaries and play like amateurs, perhpas the semi-pro term is appropriate. :lol:

If you have DirecTV you can watch it on channel 490. But that's on regular TV, I am not sure if there is a legal online provider. http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/sports/super_rugby_schedule

I think it is disingenuous of you to call this Russian squad an "A" side just because 6 or 7 regular starters are missing. Northampton Saints play in Aviva Premiership while 8 of their best players are away with the national team, and they don't call themselves Northhampton "A". You should...

Is there any chance that women's rugby at Shippensburg University will obtain varsity status in the near future? Your in-state rival West Chester have a varsity team with a paid coach, it will be hard for you to compete with that while your coaches are volunteers. Even though, to be honest, I...

Recently retired Welsh wing Shane Williams was 170 cm/80 kg, and he is considered to be one of the best rugby players ever. Size is not the defining characteristic of a rugby player, and with proper technique you can tackle players larger than yourself, but it is important to learn that...

Here is the video for you: Highlights: Full Match:

Да уж, не густо тут с русскоязычными... Но если что - обращайтесь. :cool:
