As the General Director of the Center for the competition of the Rugby Union of Russia (SRR) Eduard Melkumyan, you will perform all the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor for testing players, coaches, referees and staff on coronavirus, while the matches will be able to present not more than 10 percent of viewers of the total capacity of the stadiums to strictly abide by the necessary social distance.
with regard to the overall balance of forces, in recent years, the Russian League is dominated by teams from Krasnoyarsk. After five consecutive (2006-2010) titles “VVA-Moscow suburbs” has come a long and continuing hegemony of the Siberians. “Yenisei-STM” for the period from 2011 to seven times won the gold medal, twice won the “Krasny Yar”. In the Moscow region club for eight seasons in a row were bronze medals, in last year’s “pilots” from the pedestal moved the “Glory” that plays in a very cozy, atmospheric Metropolitan stadium near the metro station “Novoslobodskaya”. Now, in the dispute recognized giants will certainly interfere CSKA. This team has very ambitious plans.
In our clubs have enough foreign players. Mostly players from South Africa and Georgia, for the “Krasny Yar” will be the two a respected Rugby nation, as Pacific Kingdom of Tonga.
let us briefly Recall the basic rules of Rugby: 15×15 play two halves of 40 minutes. Skid the ball to the scoring field of the opponent (“attempt”) to five points, the subsequent “implementation” kick ball with foot in the space above the crossbar of the H-shaped collar – two points, the penalty kick with the same goal and “drop-goal” (beat from the game) on three points.
For the victory in the match – four points in the standings, a draw two, lose – zero. There are two types of bonuses. If the winner three or more “attempts” than the opponent, plus one point. The team defeated seven less points, the points go to the so-called “defensive bonus”.
