Unless WR were footing the bill, spending money travelling to Africa seems like a complete waste if they were going to give an effort reminiscent of last year's Nations Cup.
I am advocating that would gather all the best players go to play Russia and tours to New Zealand as it was in '91 or in Australia as it was in '90 or in England as it was in 2011.
But the Federation do not have the money. If Russia got to the World Cup would give the money, and no ...
And to go to play a weakened structure located adjacent to the IRB ranking Namibia, I believe boondoggle.
Arrived in the highlands and the next day the game with Namibia!
No acclimatization, no normal training process.
But the trip to Africa was forced. We were not invited to Romania in the summer tournament, play tests with Russia wished only to Namibia.
Good thing though Namibia has agreed to play with us, who wants to play with a team that do not care about the end result?

In Russia now began to develop rugby in the children's level, in the Krasnoyarsk region started playing rugby in schools.
But the first results (if they will), we see only after 5 - 10 years.

Absolutely awful result from Russia. Even if they played without their back three, I'm very worry about the future of russian rugby ...
It also depends on the national character.
We have great victories or losses annoying.
No "golden mean."
I think in the fall, Russia must win at Georgia ...
