[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 998075, member: 34990"] I'm not aware of any Polish players in the top leagues, but there's a few Russians knocking about, At Sale Sharks we have Russian loosehead prop Valery Morozov, and we had Andrei Ostrikov up until last season - he became a big fan favourite during his years here - he's now playing out in France. There's also been a few others like Vasily Atermyev (current Russian international, who played at Northampton Saints). Russia have qualified twice for the Rugby World Cup (2011 and 2019), and have a reasonably strong semi-pro club structure - their teams have the opportunity to qualify for the 2nd tier of European Cup comp (the Challenge Cup) with Enisey-STM qualifying most years and Krasny-Yar joining them a few seasons ago.
