Watch the US nip this in the bud.

They never have in the past. Rubbish statement.

Good riddance.

"... And the bells are ringing out for the IRA"

More word salads and whataboutery from the usual trump cultists.

IRA supporter.

These are the pinnacle of US engineering.

i.e. Junk.

Not just him. Clinton is...

Here we go... More whataboutery.

As long as the side effects don't include becoming a rabid conspiracy theorist or developing hatred of alcohol, then I'm OK with it.

There is no fraud. The disrcgarges are monitored by the IAEA.

Exactly right Ossan, but it's fruitless to argue with these conspiracy loonies. They can never get past their own delusions.

Normal muppetry from the Chinese.

Used to hunt these in UK. Muntjac venison is excellent.

Really sad for Japanese players who are denied the chance to play for their country.

Could say same thing about Scotland, Ireland, Wales, New Zealand, Australia...

Same in every rugby playing nation in the world. Not sure why Japan should be any different.

I can only wish England's premiership was underwritten as well as the Japanese league.

And can't believe the writer didn't mention Ardie Savea. He's only the best player in the world.

I’ve never heard of any company or crew that is run by a Japanese company not to have a Japanese crew member.

Most Japanese shipping lines that are operating internationally will be structured like this.

Usually only domestic shipping (Japanese flagged vessels) will have Japanese crew.

Touche!

Britain is at a turning point in our history and faces a threat of radicalization and extremism in a way not seen for 20 years.

Yes that's exactly what he sacked you, you utterly insane specimen.

Or perhaps Modern warfare has eluded your observations

A career in the armed forces says otherwise.

Aside from your silly pejoratives, rolling over to have your tummy rubbed by lunatic dictators is not a smart option.

No one likes it. But there is no other option when dealing with madmen.

Yes we would all like peace and harmony, however some people live in the real world and have to really deal with these situations.

At the same time others run around with flowers in their hair, criticizing the very people that ensure the freedom to do so.

Sensationalist garbage

For every action there's a reaction

Have you considered the consequences ?

Make peace not war fighto

Your sentiment is lovely, but obviously you have not studied or learned anything from modern history.

If you think that an insane Russian dictator and a Chinese dictator who is showing signs of insanity, will be placated by pacifism, then you're sadly mistaken.

For the pro-dictatorship commentators on here, you're laughable. Go live in either of those countries for a year and then come back and have a chat. Until then your comments are a complete waste of time.

Do like Poch, but now we have Post.

Hoping Spurs give them a right spanking.

In TV circles Russell has always been known as being a little bit rapey.

@Haaa Nemui

Yes correct. This is why rugby is such an amazing sport.

@fatrainfallingintheforest

Yeah. Poms love to see the All Blacks lose, don't they? And no crying from them after their semi with SA was there?

I would have enjoyed the result either way. I've got no skin in the game with either of these teams. What I can't stand is the whining and if, buts & maybes from the losing side's pundits and fans; whether that be England NZ or any other side.

Yeah was really gutted that England lost and said so. But the better team won on that day too, and I admitted it. I was at the game and loved it. It was a brilliant semi final. A real war of attrition. Some people thought it was boring, but for a rugby purist it was insanely good.

Rugby is all about taking a loss on the chin, accepting it and not bitching and moaning and blaming others about it. It's about respecting and congratulating your opposition no matter the result. Those are rugby values and I'm really sad that people seem to be moving away from this.

And Kobe now have Dave Rennie. So something good came out if Eddie's Aussie appointment .

From someone else i know:

Here are the facts that need to be understood, swallowed and digested. The best team did not lose, the best team won. That’s how it works.

AB's had 61% possession but failed to convert it into points

There is no referee conspiracy

There is no bribery and corruption

AB's missed 2 kicks - SA missed 0

AB's got 1 yellow card and 1 Red

SA got 2 yellow cards

SA out muscled AB's on the field with immense defence

AB's confidently decided to kick for the corner when points were on offer

AB's made numerous handling errors

AB's ill discipline cost them at vital moments

Some calls didn’t go AB's way but that’s rugby and it happens

Some calls didn’t go SA's way either

Certain decisions cost AB's big

AB's have no one to blame but the AB's. It’s time to get honest and clear with themselves, admit they lost fair and square and congratulate their old foe and leave it at that. It was a hell of a battle. Take the loss on the chin and move on. That is Rugby.

Likely this game will be remember for the controversy of the poor officiating

Nonsense. Wayne Barnes had an excellent game. This has been picked over since and his reffing was exceptional.

make up imaginary things

Nothing imaginary there Virusex, old mate.

Seen that kind of lunacy with my own eyes, Wilma and Katrina 2005.

Luckily I never have to go back to that god awful hell hole of a cuntry.

What do this have to do with the article? a situation of desperation bringing chaos and disorder is being made a race issue?

Agree it's not a race issue but these people are sub-human. Have seen this in the USA too in the aftermath of a hurricane.

People (of all races) smashing open electronics stores and carrying 70 inch TV's through flooded streets is not an act of desperation.

Fresh water and food I would sympathise but mostly it's just opportunistic looting by crooks, plain and simple

@Haaa Nemui

, boring as hell, but it

Really? No team was going to play free flowing open rugby in those conditions. It was absolutely tipping to down. I was soaked to the skin in the stands.

Loved the game. A real war of attrition. Having played in the pack for half my rugby playing life, I appreciate what was happening. Fabulous and absorbing battle between these two teams. Was on the edge of my seat for the entire match (apart from when queuing for beer!).

Brilliant game, loved it.

It would still be a shock if they won it, though. Can’t see them finishing above City.

Jimizo. Top 4 would be fine with me and of course finishing above the Woolwich Scum.
