Head coach and President of Enisey-STM Alexander Pervukhin:
As you will appreciate the dynamics of the progress of the Enisey-STM game against the Irish clubs in recent years?
"The match with Connacht gave a sufficient number of positive emotions and a certain attitude in the future. We finally beat a strong team "A", and beat with no options, although the game was quite equal to, or even somewhere with the advantage of the hosts. The composition was a serious contender, and therefore none of the local authorities did not expect such a result - and said after the match.
The match was publicized, and in the evening after the match was a call from the secretary of the Irish Federation, who first proposed the trip in advance to agree terms for the next year, subject to a number of games with teams at this level. In particular, the organization promised to think about the match with our participation before the game level of "Munster - Leinster" in front of the audience in the 60-70 thousand people ..
Let's hope it happens. As for the level of play the team, then we grow up, as, in principle, it should be. Very much in recent years done in this direction. Gives much qualitative preseason. This is particularly evident today, unfortunately, against the backdrop of returning players from national team, which are now, oddly enough, the weak link in the team, on which will need to work hard. Once again I want to emphasize, can not be young, unformed players - such as Shcherban, Simplikevich, Gerasimov, without going through a complete cycle of preseason training. All winter to wander from team to team of the national team's rugby team to a 15-rugby-7, and vice versa ! Each year, struggling to change this approach to young players. This can only afford experienced rugby players - such as Temnov, Tsnobiladze, etc ... They recover much quicker and easier. Without a full-fledged training work of talented young people grow up in a few years of mediocre players."
