    Russia, like the States last night, aren't a bad side. Big units, well organised on both sides of the ball, aren't at all afraid.

    But, just like the States, they lack those game breakers out wide.

    Their openside and locks are willing. Props are fairly mobile too.

    Their 1st 5 isn’t creative at all so stifles any sort of decent ball.

    It'd be awful shame if a few of Ireland's key players were cited and missed out on the quarter final - ruin the spectacle and all that.

    Number 9 for Russia has a pass on him. Fast and accurate

    Russian 10 lacking creativity is not necessarily a bad thing - they don't necessarily have the tools to use it anyway. They've got some nice hands to get out to 13 or 15 joining the line, but Ireland are reading it really now so they need to mix it up.

    Russia looked knackered at the end of that half. I sense a bloodbath

    Can someone please explain how Aki's forearm lead to the neck / head in the truck up leading to Kearney's try was any different from Kerevi v Patchell?

    Garces was right there too.

    No replay and my rudimentary pause technique in real time might not have shown the whole picture.

    But certainly worth a look.

    Made the same comment earlier on a WhatsApp thread with a bunch of Irish mates.

    Stone silence still....

    If you're Irish I'm sure you don't give a fuck, but jesus they're a boring team to watch.

    Imagine losing to Japan and being unable to make a statement against a mostly 14 man Russia. Maybe lulling the AB's into a false sense of security
