i quite enjoyed the dubai sevens last night..sad hardly anybody/any writer on roar appreciates it..
Looking to Longbottom for a lift in spirits
i think rugby is a lot more visible in the US than obscure gridiron at college campuses in the UK..
Rugby league's G20 strategy: Who are the next two elite nations?
i know you didn’t say live..even if it was delayed coverage or replays, it could’ve been scheduled at another time that didn’t coincide with live rugby union in the republic rather than bringing up the excuse of colored folk playing footy on the telly..sounds like bs to me..
Rugby league's G20 strategy: Who are the next two elite nations?
rugby is big in hk but it will be interesting in thoise other places..shanghai has a sizeable western community where there’s some potential..it’s untested waters..who knows, it could be a raging success..

nz media predicted wins over tonga and fiji..and look where the kiwis are now..
Tonga vs England preview: The road to a showdown with the Kangaroos
nice points..but if we do it your way, then say hi to the old boring 3-way world cup..nz, aust and eng..in fact, let’s do it your way and don’t bother to invite any other countries apart from those 3..
Can all the naysayers just enjoy the Rugby League World Cup?
if they’re eligible under the rules and good enough to make the japanese team, well done..nothing wrong with that..japanese team has a good mix of japanese, naturalized nationals and some japanized foreigners..it’s one of my favourite gteams..
New Zealand vs Tonga: Rugby league's finest ever day
yup..world cups are always a bit of a novelty..
Pacific nations demand their own State of Origin
yup..people here seem to think that because i don’t identify with where my parents or ancestors came from other people shouldn’t too..
New Zealand vs Tonga: Rugby league's finest ever day
there are 15k tongans residing in the tokyo-yokohama area..they go there under the two country’s education and emplyment exchange programme..nothing wrong with islanders playing in and representing japan..same way fijians are popping up in wallaby jerseys..tokyo today is a very diverse city..
New Zealand vs Tonga: Rugby league's finest ever day
those thousands of red cross flag-waving people are cheering island origin..duh..are you blind?
Pacific nations demand their own State of Origin
most of the samoan and tongan rugby union internationals were never born nor lived in the islands for 3 years..they’re heritage players..which is fair enough because there is no professional rugby in the islands..
Breaking down the Rugby League World Cup finals scenarios
I hope league eligibility rules don’t change..tonga, samoa and fiji will never be as strong as it is now if league took it’s cue from rugby union..union’s rules are basically to depower PI teams..
Breaking down the Rugby League World Cup finals scenarios
there’s not much to talk about the rlwc this week..news has sort of fizzled after the big samoa-tonga clash last week..
Kiwi coach Kidwell mellows over Taumalolo affair
nz and australian league piss their pants when taumalolo and fifita decided to play for tonga..
Mad Monday: Samoa versus Tonga is better than Origin
of course it is, samoa and tonga are two countries, two nationalities with thousands of years of history and rivalry..nsw and queensland are how old?..200 years?
Mad Monday: Samoa versus Tonga is better than Origin
column is too long..should have congested it to a 2 – 2.5 min read..that’s about the average attention span among such board readers..
The Wrap: Australian rugby shoots itself in the foot, again
