[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 606056, member: 44360"] In all seriousness I thought this match would have drawn at least some interest from the forum membership, the other two game threads I started yesterday I figured were a little more out there....but Japan and to a lesser extent Russia are known quantities within the rugby world, and the fact the game was streamed live and free, I thought we'd have one or two people give it a look. Japan defeated Russia 40-13(13-13 at half) with an explosive 2nd half and took huge advantage of a Bears yellow card, interestingly Ostrikov a player Russia was missing for this test came off the bench for Sale Sharks for exactly one minute in their game tonight. Really a shame to see that surely it would have been better for Russia and him as a player to play in this game rather than warm a bench. Not sure what's going on with Russia, they used to at least show some flair on attack but have really struggled since the end of the 2011 RWC, I think it might even be touch and go for them against Uruguay in the repechage round for RWCQ.
