Noves on Rupeni Caucaunibuca:
"At one moment no less than 17 people were mobilised by the club to look after him and his family. I told him to lose weight and he rediscovered, without playing at world level, a form which made him formidable on all fields in the Top 14"

On Gareth Thomas:
"A Welsh rugby legend after wearing the shirt with the three feathers on 100 times and captained the Red Devils on 50 times. He defended the Toulouse shirt with the same fervour and talent."

Some interesting statistical trends from the last four years of Tier 1 test rugby which were affirmed by #RWC2019, and some others which ran contrary to what we had seen earlier in the cycle:
Making ground by carrying the ball continued to become more difficult, with the average carry in the World Cup making 3.2m - compared to 3.7m in tests in 2016.
Offloading also trended down over the cycle: 6.1% of carries in Japan resulted in an offload, vs. 8.0% in 2016.
Offloading also trended down over the cycle: 6.1% of carries in Japan resulted in an offload, vs. 8.0% in 2016.
While the average number of passes completed per carry remained in the 1.23-1.29 range in each year between 2016-2018, the average for this World Cup was 1.18.

イギリスの大手新聞、The GuardianのAndy Bull記者が書いた。昨日のスコットランド戦の記事が本当に美しく、詩的で、裏方さんなどにも光の当たった素晴らしい記事だったので、皆さんに読んで欲しくてほぼ全訳しました。僕の拙い翻訳で申し訳ないですが、お時間あればご一読を。

❶黙祷は、1分にも満たない、短いものだった。しかしそこには、過去に例を見ない状況で開催される、この試合に対する、相反する感情の渦巻き、衝突が含まれていた。台風がつい数時間前に過ぎ去り、スタジアムの周りは洪水であふれ、救出作業も終わっていなければ、修復作業など始まってすらいない。
❷その黙祷が、一体誰に向かって、何人の犠牲者へ捧げられたのかは、誰も知る由はなかった。被害者の数は、未だに確定していなかったのだから。明け方は4名とされていた死傷者数は９名へ、試合開始時には24名に、ハーフタイムに26名、試合が終わり少し経つ頃には28名へと増えていった。
Let's play the 5G Adverts game. Which one is your favourite 5G Advert? Use the hash tag #5GAdverts 📺 and let us know too. Here is one of our recent favorite from LG Uplus, South Korea about the U+AR app. Their 5G brand being U+5G #3G4G5G
Vodafone Portugal is educating about "5G is coming and will revolutionize life as we know it". There are a lot of thumbs down for this one, not sure why? #5GAdverts #5G #inovação
One of Orange Poland adverts is actually about Speedtest. 5G will be able to provide really high speeds #5GAdverts

Just spoke to my brother-in-law in Tokyo about the coming typhoon and he said "we're all just praying for not too much destruction".
I remember my first typhoon in Tokyo nearly 20 years ago. I hadn't seen the news (I couldn't speak Japanese back then) and decided to go out shopping because I thought it was just raining. I wondered why the streets were deserted.
It was brutal. Winds knocked you off your feet. Cars being pushed sideways. Flooding everywhere. I could barely open my eyes. I hid in a doorway until I could race back home.
Con l'occasione della #RWC2019 in Giappone vi racconto una favoletta (credo di averla già raccontata ma mi piace troppo)
Coppa del mondo 2015: la nazionale Giapponese affronta la corazzata Sud Africa.
Una corazzata un po' in crisi va detto, ma è ha pur sempre 2 titoli mondiali>>

La partita prende una piega strana, i Sudafricani faticano contro un Giappone che è oltre 15esimo nel ranking mondiale. I "Cherry Blossom" o "Sakura" (nickname della squadra nipponica) mordono, corrono e lottano come samurai non permettendo all'avversario di prendere il largo >>
A pochi minuti dalla fine il punteggio è inchiodato sul 32-29 a favore del Sud Africa.
L'arbitro assegna una punizione al Giappone, in posizione favorevole.
Sono 3 punti FACILI che significano un risultato storico: un pareggio contro una delle squadre più forti del mondo... MA >>

Let's hit Japan hard and make them rethink their decision to leave the IWC and resume whaling. Join us in protesting the @RugbyWC_2019 and @Tokyo2020. 💥🐋 @iwc_int @rugbyworldcup @Olympics
We urge Japan to cease whaling and rejoin the IWC. Until they do, we will be officially protesting the @rugbyworldcupjp which starts on 20th Sept 2019. @Tokyo2020 will follow. Expect disruptions. Pic: @ArchieTaplin #whales #Japanwhaling
