Russian Barbarians head coach JP Neil summarized the results of the match against the Russian national rugby team.
— Thank you Samara for welcoming us. A wonderful city with a great stadium. Even with such rainy weather hampering rugby entertainment, fans came to the stadium today. First of all, the Barbarians always select players ready to fight to the end and play great rugby. We proved that we don’t like to lose. Even though we were given 20 free throws, we continued to fight. Next time, for example, you could give the referee a red rugby jersey so that he doesn’t stand out. But once again I want to thank the players – we fought until the end and managed to succeed.
Yes, we only got here Thursday evening. There was little time to prepare. Considering that Barbarian culture also includes social activities, on the first evening that’s exactly what we did: visiting the city and its sights. Then we already understood that, given all the circumstances, it would be difficult in the first half, but we pulled ourselves together for the second half and took it. Now imagine what would happen if we had two training sessions before the match?
