Today, the director of the Enisei-STM Alexander Pervukhin gave a great interview. He was asked about the participation of Krasnoyarsk clubs in Asian Rugby and Global Rapid Rugby. He replied that several years ago he was trying to include Krasnoyarsk clubs in the Japanese Top League. Was twice in...

Interesting news for GRR and Russian clubs. The leadership of SLAR invited teams from Spain, Portugal and Mexico for the 2021 season. That is, European teams will fly across the ocean! The minimum distance from Lisbon to the nearest SLAR teams is 7500 km. Let me remind you that the distance from...

No, in Russia the rugby championship has not yet begun. It starts on April 26th. It will last until October. As for foreign players. That is a lot of news from Europe that clubs are already cutting salaries. Obviously, if they cancel all games in 2020, then all players will be left without...

Now I am writing in Russian rugby forums that our Russian rugby championship may turn out to be the only active pro tournament in the world. RPL starts on April 26th. And if you cancel the limit on legionnaires, then in Russia you can collect very cool foreign players. Given the fact that all...

Another step that will positively affect the participation of Russian clubs in GRR. The largest sports media holding in Russia Match TV bought the rights to the Australian football championship. Because of the panic in Europe, they have nothing to show now, so they bought a rights for the...

What are you afraid of? There are no bears in cities in Siberia. Krasnoyarsk is a civilized city. There is a new international airport, 5 star hotels, all conditions for training and games.

I already wrote that in Russia there was an idea to organize a Rapid Rugby Russia 2020 promo tournament in Krasnoyarsk in early June (Enisei-STM, Krasny Yar + two GRR teams that won’t make it to the Grand Final). But due to the cancellation of games in GRR, why not organize it in the month of...

In Russia, after seeing the matches of Round 1, Rapid became much more positive about the tournament and the participation of Krasnoyarsk clubs in it. Even those who used to harshly criticize GRR for changing the rules. Some compared it to neglect with rugby-13 and rugby-7. In Russia, many fans...

In the championship of Russia they want to establish a salary cap. In the 2020 season, this will be 300 million rubles ($ 4.6 million), and in the season 2021, 250 million rubles ($ 3.9 million). This is another argument that Krasnoyarsk clubs can afford very good budgets for participation in...

Surprisingly, Moscow lobbyists signed an agreement between the Russian Union and Rugby Asia. This is also a step towards GRR. https://www.asiarugby.com/2020/02/29/rugby-union-of-russia-mou/

Do not forget that the first in line to expand the tournament are two clubs from Russia. Enisei-STM and Krasny Yar. I am not writing you the latest news from the Russian Union of Russia so as not to shock you much. But believe me, that your situation in the ARU is a kindergarten compared to the...

An interesting article in French from Japan on the subject of Global Rapid Rugby. Translation of a small part. Finally, a country could finish with Europe and turn to Asia: Russia. The country certainly has a professional championship but its two best rugby clubs, the Enisey-STM and the Krasny...

Guys, I told you that it’s worth waiting for Koreans and possibly Japanese. And all did not believe me. I think Koreans should gather their strongest players and add about 10 strong foreigners. Get a good team. It remains to find another team in Australia or New Zealand. Then we will have the...

I think that various options for cooperation are possible. I suggested inviting juniors from Auckland to a tournament in Krasnoyarsk in the summer. From 2010 to 2013, Krasny Yar collaborated with the Canterbury Union. There were several New Zealand players in their squad. For example, the still...

Krasnoyarsk is establishing relations with New Zealand. This is a step towards Rapid Rugby. The Siberian Rugby Academy (SRA) from Krasnoyarsk signed a cooperation agreement with the Auckland Rugby Academy. “Now our coaches have the opportunity to undergo training in New Zealand, to accept...

You can recall another cool try with the participation of Enisei-STM players in the Russian national team against Japan a year ago. It is not a POWER TRY, but very beautiful. Players from Enisei-STM Ramil Gaisin (#10) and Stanislav Selsky (#2).

Amazing 9-point POWER TRY in Rapid Rugby style from Enisei-STM against Castres Olympique in European Challenge Cup. Alexandr Budychenko (#10) and Bjorn Basson (#11).

Recent observations. In Krasnoyarsk, the opinion of the rugby community is changing in favor of Rapid Rugby. They see Moscow lobbyists doing the wrong thing. Mindlessly littered with huge money. Maked the wrong decisions. Now the idea has arisen to hold the February training camp of the Krasny...

Krasny Yar began the restructuring of the composition. Two experienced players are gone. Two coaches also left the club. They also returned the backs coach of the Tongan Siua Tuamalolo. But they need a cool head coach from the Southern Hemisphere. So that he prepares teams for the style of...

In principle, this is an approximate option. But if there is a Japanese team or\and Korean team, it is logical to add them to the North. And Malaysia and Singapore add to the South. I hope this takes a maximum of 1-2 years.
