Serbia 10, Russia 24 (HT:4-6) :-(

Wow, the Serbs were at home too, Russia must have a fair squad, that's a good win away from home.

 

[dorcolrugby]

Yes, they had their regular squad. Serbia changed 5 players out of 17 from the game v Germany and even 8 new players comparing to 1 point loss to Russia away.

Excellent. Love the "entry" music, fantastic stuff.

Dorcol, do they produce a programme for the European Shield matches?

 

[crimpo]

What sort of crowd did you get for the fixture?

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Good to see the teams around in this group are competitive with each other and the games are getting closer.

Well done.

 

[dorcolrugby]

Dorcol, do they produce a programme for the European Shield matches?

NO, I haven't seen programmes at any of these games.

What sort of crowd did you get for the fixture?

It is hard to say because the entrance was free, but I believe that it was over 500, maybe some hundred more.

 

[deluded pom?]

Thanks for the reply dorcol.

 

[crimpo]

Thanks dorcol - good to hear.

Such a shame Germany ended up ruining the tournament after a promising start by them. Hopefully Ukraine will do better next time.

 

[deluded pom?]

Is it confirmed that Ukraine will be replacing Germany in the next ES EH?

 

[dorcolrugby]

No, it is not yet. The winner of the Bowl gets promotion and everything other than Czech 21+ points win gives Ukraine Shield spot.
