One positive note. This match was sold out 10 days in advance and the majority of the people I know in the rugby community either wanted to go and couldn’t get a ticket or had family and friends who wanted to go and couldn’t. Easily could have had double the crowd at a bigger stadium. It's what, 4k?

Meanwhile, Portgual put in another solid effort against a good Georgia team. That's who we'll be playing in the repechage. Folks, I think we need to start preparing for the possibility that the United States might not be at the next Rugby World Cup. Are you as poorly run as Canada? Genuine question...

The impact Biden has on inflation in the EU is actually amazing too. The U.S. does export inflation due to being reserve currency. It's not so much inflation is Biden's fault (it's as much his fault as it is Trump's) as much as the Biden administration's response to it is jawboning. This is an admi...

This is an existential crisis for Democratic financial policy because the way to fix the problem is one Democrats really hate. So they've resorted to explanations pulled from the Johnson and Nixon administrations of the 1960s and 1970s, which didn't work then because when the Reagan administration ...

The think Trump didn't create his supporters. His supporters had their agendas beforehand and were looking out for someone like Trump to lead them. They don't care whether he's guilty or not. They love that he's leading their agenda. The Proud Boys, Oaf Keepers, Illinois Nazis and all the other tik...

Game set and f**king match. Back that one up Flyin Ryan you sly right wing weasel. What's so weird about the whole thing is how f@cking obvious it all was. It was as plain as day it was the whinging of a sore loser, yet so many millions of people were willing to buy that sh!te. Either a huge amount...

I fully support tighter abortion laws and hardly consider it "abandoning women". However I think you'll find only the fringe nutbar groups support raped ten year olds not being allowed an abortion, and again fringe groups thinking it's a good idea to reduce the separation of church and state. The p...

Shipping people to Rwanda is a tactic to stop people using traffickers. How do you stop the traffickers?

Sad and disgusting news. I recall that sadly tehre are more slaves in the africa alone today than in the atlantic slave trade era. I hope thsoe involved are locked away forever.

WTF. Thats all I can say. My Panthers worked a deal to aquire Baker Mayfield. Charlotte is rapidly become the home for discarded and useless quarterbacks. When will the front office actually invest in a young franchise quarterback with real potential? The last time being 2011 when they drafted Cam ...

Flyin Ryan

That's a limiting factor but nowhere near as limiting as having your best players and athletes sucked up by other sports. If you took the number of people playing the game in high schools in the past generation and tripled it, you could take half our national team's starting XV and replace them wit...

Sucks. Goes on more than some people care to know. I always see ads about how omnipresent human trafficking is yet don't see evidence of it in the form of public records, news stories, police busts.

I'm genuinely curious as to the motive, albeit I know sfa about Japanese politics. Abe seemed fairly mild as a character. Historically a single-party state with a castrated opposition party. But that single party has several competing factions inside it. In recent years it's gotten more competive.

Yeah, him and Koizumi (who always struck me as more populist-ish) have been the only real Japanese leaders of note my adulthood.

Re reforming SCOTUS, for me adding Justices is problematic. I would much rather see reforms around setting a limit to how long anyone person can be a Justice. 20 years seems a reasonable time. 20 year term limits would also ensure that the makeup of the court itself is more aligned with the voting ...

One of the big limiting factors in the US is that football takes such similar body types and athletic attributes that the best American high school rugby players tend to play football in college, if not beyond.

The police have not released any details yet apart from a statement by the suspect that he had some dissatisfaction with Abe and intended to kill him but that he had no issues with Abe's political views or stance.
