RWC: Australia - Russia (01-10-2011, 15:30)

Come on russians... don't you know the old proverb that says.. if you cant beat them, beat them up... at least tackle hard so we remember there are 2 teams on the pitch

Thats right but I dont think the Russians have got any real hitmen.

Russians have some good individuals.

Nice intercept try for Russia.
Commentator says, "Cooper will always throw an intercept pass." That makes him a liability when the scoreline's close, surely!
It's not one of those "oh well" situations. As a no.10 he has to know when NOT to make that pass.

 

[TRF_RC]

Another try for Russia!
Brilliant! Had they not gone for that drop goal before and maybe gotten a try they could be looking at a 4 try bonus point!
Aus getting another kick up the arse.

 

[Seaton]

Good that Russia has come back, by the 28th minute it looked as though the Aussies were going for a massive score without reply.

 

[Nick Main]

I thought this could be another Australia - Namibia from '03, but Russia really playing well and might get their 4th try

 

[Bazzy]

Well lets pretend that the first half never happened .

Current score 17-14 to Russia :lol: .

 

[TRF_RC]

Well, Aus get a lucky try, they've been looking for this for a while.
Commentator said, "Opportunist try, but they all count at this level." They all count at ANY level, mate. Idiot.

We will never ever see a Namibia vs. Australia 2003 again, the tier two and three are coming up too strong for that.

 

[Surefire]

Nice Job Russia!

 

[Toko_11]

22 vs australia good great result for any team

 

[Magricos]

Too man injuries. Deans have to call up replacements.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Shame Russia didn't get the 4-try BP

 

[ckell]

Gutted for Drew Mitchell.

 

[Siva Tau]

Only saw highlights of this and as much as Australia were devastating in first half the Russians were fantastic in the second thriving in the wet.

 

[JW.]

Gutting for Mitchell, but it's the same old story. Mitchell and Palu got rushed back after injuries and pulled a hammy, bad medical management.
