As it seems 17 years are not enough for Russian Rugby players to estimate situation suitably before the match against Georgian National Team. Russian Rugby Players plan victory as usual on March 19 in Sochi.

Koroshonuv and Voytov stated that the playing level of the countries at “Nations Cup” is equal (????- editorial), as they said last week Romanian had chance to beat Georgia easily (????- editorial) so it is not impossible to beat Georgian National Team.

Aleksander Voytov:“On Saturday we are playing against Georgian National Rugby Team which we have not beat for 17 years. We want to finish unsuccessful serie but our rival is as strong as never before, but in spite of this we also promise surprises to fans. Maybe we do not have good results, but we do not give up. Soon or later what we studied in New Zealand, Turkey and Sochi will have its result.  
Now the level of the teams has equalized – Romanian team could win over Georgians easily and Portugal beat Spain. Our defenders should offer aggressive style to the rival. The trump of Georgians is strong forwards and attack. It must be mentioned that they improve playing at expense of legionaries. Playing level of them reach
Now a lot of people say: Russia always lose.. But before critic, the have to take under consideration what kind of situation is in our team. Nowadays, we do not have many legionaries in team. In fact they are two – Kulyomin and Artemiev. May be we have foreign coaches but they are not witches to change situation in two months”.
Vladislav Korshunov: “To my mind we have to play easier against Georgian team. Everyone improved playing in defense line. We have to act fast and we should not be frightened to play in the rival’s half. But we sometimes cannot manage even to leave our zone, lose the ball and let the rival to counter-attack. The key o success is in counter-attack.
We have to be more daring – that’s all.

The main problem what do we have is misunderstanding between our coaches. Our foreign coaches offer us another style and Nikolay “Vladimerovich” offers another. One says –stop another says – attack, it is very confusing for us.
