Summary

Time Score  
2 3 - 0

And there we have Russia's first points of the 2011 World Cup. Kushnarev bisects the uprights with a lazy strike

11 3 - 3

Wyles puts USA on the board with a well struck penalty

18 3 - 8

That is one of the tries of the World Cup so far... USA Eagles break from their 22 and put the ball through the hands. Mike Petri takes it on - outsprints the covering defender and dots the pill down. A fantastic display of running rugby

19 3 - 10

Wyles - conversion

64 3 - 13

Wyles gives the USA a 10 point cushion with an accurate strike

77 6 - 13

Rachkov makes amends for his earlier misses by bisecting the points to bring the Russians back into contention
