[QUOTE="usausa, post: 617451, member: 42578"] No worries, I felt like a zombie typing my little post. It's pretty much shaping up to be Germany/Moldova vs. Russia. Although if Russia was able to build a nice gap last season nothing says another team can't do it this season. As mentioned above, Moldova certainly seems to be the 1B favorite now that they have been able to tap all of their best players and beat Germany this season 30-15. As for the playoff, while Russia is certainly the overwhelming favorite, anything can happen! Especially if Russia is forced to go on the road like FIRA/IRB has been making the higher division team do. While certainly not remotely close to the same scale/talent, India a couple of years ago (who won A5N Div 3) nearly beat Thailand (A5N Div 2 winner) at a neutral site. Hell, we saw Madagascar take down Namibia (although it more resembled Namibia A/B) at home in extra time! And by no means has Russia been spectacular in my opinion! [/QUOTE]
