there are first row on RU today is NZ, SA, ENG, IRL, FRA, ARG, AUT, WAL, SCOT… A second row FIJI, SAM, ITA, URU, JAP, GEO, ROM and other row with RUS, SPA, CHI, US, CAN, POR, NAM
NZ, Aus, SA, Arg, It, Fra, End, Wal, Ir, Sco then Geo, Jap, Fiji, Tonga rest in level and skills are way under was SA 99 - 0 Romania, Fra vd It was equal high result
Btw people forget that Russia has ok level rugby competition, but Georgian players was key factor, now Russia is banned since English is rugby language and French and Afrikaans, I don't see Russia returning
Few romanian players play in France, fed in tier 2,but most plays in Romanian leuges where are 6 teams. Georgia has 10 and a bit better level if you ask me.
Georgian players still plays in France, like I said after London Wasp and Irish did bancrupt, French top 14 is a bit higher as Premiership rugby, so it's good tournament,
