The kick by Mikhaltsova was deliberate and subsequently earned her an eight match suspension. It is very disappointing when a great player like her resorts to such tactics.

And? The Kiwis haven't beaten Aus in about 8 years in League, if they even to make it to facing them in the World Cup (which they embarrassingly didn't come close to last year). I wasn't referring solely to Union. The Australian members of the ANZACS showed encapsulated this ideal. Peter Wallace did when he played an Origin game with a ruptured testicle. It's an ideal, it's not limited to one sport. But if you want to be specific about one sport let's talk about the 7's. Didn't the Australian women's 7's team just beat NZ at the last Olympics? Talk about soul crushing, for a nation that prides itself on being the best at Union it's a bit embarrassing to lose to a team that's not as good on paper. As the best nation at Union they should have won that game.

Doesn't a gold in the actual Olpmics mean more then the Common Wealth Games for obvious reasons? USA, Russia Canada are good on their day and and they weren't even in it. Didn't Australia's men's team fairly recently beat the All Blacks 23-18. It's interesting how you see a win as soul destroying, I'm sure the Australia team were absolutely shattered. What about the 31- 0 shutout of NZ in the women's Sydney 7's by Australia this year to come first? Pretty disappointing performance in the final match of the tournament, from such a great team. Aren't NZ's Union standards suppose to be higher because of how the NZ are the best at that particular sport? You can't brag about how good NZ is at Union then when a disappointing loss is pointed just ignore it. You can't have your cake and eat it too, if NZ are that much better then Aus in Union then those losses are below their standards and they shouldn't have them. Either NZ are that great in Union usually but have been disappointing or they aren't that great. You can't have it both ways. So which is it?

Vani Pelite's tenacity and fearlessness reminds me of Michael Hooper. Well, if Hooper actually had brains

Love to ma

Incyex simp

shameful officiating. there was a high tackle against Russia that was ignored then that NFL shovel pass

russia a box o chocs at some stages yet are always competitive would not say development per say if you watch other games they have won convincingly no fluke all hard work!

For the record, the ladies Russian 7s team is placed higher than the men's team in their respective standing (we are the Official suppliers to both teams). They are a great group of player's and we are expecting them to do excellent this season!

+Impact Prowear it would really be beneficial for you to get some great rugby "reactors" to follow official videos for teams like Russia. They are great 2nd tier powerhouse nations. Contact me at thomas at londonvisa dot co dot uk to discuss opportunities.

@@ImpactprowearI like this Russian team, I hope to see more improvements from these girls in the future good work

You saw nothing 🤫

The kick recievers have decided that the kick will land beyond the point where they stand. The player behind the reciever is there to lift the reciever to take the kick early, betore the ball hits the ground, thus gaining an advantage over the attacking players, who must allow the reciever to land before they can make any move to try to recover the ball. Hope that helps a bit. El Grump.

@@TheTheotherfoot yeah cheers!

Watch the mens game. the back marker in the lineout often does this. The bloke throwing in deliberately throws high and his team-mate is lifted to complete the catch.

@@paulieplayspoorly line outs not the same as a kick receive.

@@MD-9999 Lifting someone up by the shorts is the same whether it's rugby or water polo. It's to get a lift. I was merely trying to give an example of why they do it. Given your question, I assumed you had no knowledge of this. I apologise. Mansplaining has brung me unstuck again. My wife is gunna love this.

Такое ощущение что они неделю в офисе отпахали, а тут чисто на выходных с девчонками поиграть приехали по приколу, где выкладка на все 100%? Они же ни чем в жизни не обременены, только игрой!!!

А сам пробовал играть хоть? Если нет то лучше бы помолчал...

She got an 8 match ban for that ... although she never actually touched her :/

Yes

The Russians actually play very good, just not as good as the Aussies. Just watch this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5iGasmAna-onIE.html 😅

@@joschistep3442 the link leads to a Czechia - Austria game😁

Since the beginning no concentration at all from Russia
