At look ahead at the RWC2019 Pool A fixture between Russia and Samoa:
FILE PHOTO: Rugby Union - Rugby World Cup 2019 - Pool A - Japan v Russia - Tokyo Stadium, Tokyo, Japan - September 20, 2019 Russia players shake hands with each other after the match REUTERS/Matthew ChildsSamoa will become the final Pool A team to kick off their World Cup when they take on Russia in Saitama on Tuesday, seeking to mount a serious bid to reach the last eight for the first time in over 20 years.
Since then, New Zealander Steve Jackson’s side have showed glimpses of the Samoa of old, pushing Wales and Scotland mighty close on their 2017 Northern hemisphere tour. Their path is also not as insurmountable as if, say, they had landed in Pool B with the All Blacks and South Africa. Russia, who only qualified when Romania and Spain were disqualified for using ineligible players, impressed with their direct running and solid scrum, attributes that were not lost on pool favourites Ireland.
Team: 15-Vasily Artemyev, 14-German Davydov, 13-Vladimir Ostroushko, 12-Dmitry Gerasimov, 11-Kirill Golosnitskiy, 10-Yury Kushnarev, 9-Vasily Dorofeev, 8-Nikita Vavilin, 7-Tagir Gadzhiev, 6-Vitaly Zhivatov, 5-Bogdan Fedotko, 4-Andrey Ostrikov, 3-Kirill Gotovtsev, 2-Stanislav Selskii, 1. Valery Morozov.
