Found a video of the match USSR against New Zealand XV in 1991.
Then the Soviet Union national rugby union team (players without Georgia) held 8 matches in New Zealand.
May 25 USSR - "Nelson Boys" (3rd Div.) 25-24
May 29 USSR - "Marlborough" (3rd Div.) 23-16 (13-7)
June 1 USSR - "Canterbury" (1st div.) 15-73 (9-31)
June 5 USSR - "Mid Canterbury" (2nd div.) 33-10
June 8 USSR - "Otago" (1st div.) 11-37
June 12 USSR - "Taranaki" (1st div.) 16-39
June 16 USSR - New Zealand XV 6 - 56 (0 - 30)
June 18 USSR - "King Country" (2nd div.) 22-15
In any case the Russian national team in rugby is not so much inferior to New Zealand, as the New Zealand national team in ice hockey behind Russia)))
