Reviews
All the results on Saturday went to prediction. Sunday's result was a huge upset win for the Czech Republic.

Poland's gradual drift towards recruiting players from France with Polish heritage does not seem to be working. Their loss has virtually eliminated them from World Cup contention and has placed the Czechs with a mathematical chance of qualifying. It has also placed the Ukraine in the hot favourites seat to take ENC 2A and an opportunity to play Lithuania for a chance to progress towards the World Cup finals, 2011.

On Saturday Croatia won easily over hosts Latvia, whilst Serbia and Bulgaria won their games at home.

  2. Hi Maen. If your question is for me, no sorry I haven't. I'm just too busy keep up with 15's that I don't get to cover 7's nor womens test rugby. It's a great shame but I havea full time job and a full time family. My related site www.rugbyinternational.net is my main rugby data site.
