Russia
Rubin was originally enquired about by Russian management during 1998 as to where his heritage lay and whether or not he would be able to represent Russia for their World Cup qualifying fixtures in their bid to gain entry for the 2000 competition.
Although Rubin was born in Ukraine, both of his grandparents had originally come from Russia which meant Rubin was allowed to represent the Russian national side. From 1998 onwards he would help his adopted country to qualify for the Rugby League World Cup and then take part in their campaign as captain but ultimately they had a disappointing tournament, failing to win a match against superior competition in Australia, England and Fiji.
