And the only Japanese player to score points for the Japanese team was the one guy who punted a few over the post?

So let me get this right, most, if not all, the tries were scored by non-Japanese players on the Japanese team against a B-rate Welsh team? Way to go, Samurai!!

I like this guy Onodera - always looks a bit tired or hungover, but always on the ball.

Ranger_Miffy2, and I am quite enjoying being able to upgrade or customize anything I want to on my computer without being restricted like you folk. And paying less for the privilege while also not looking like every other "sheep" out there.
And echo nicolls, Win7 for me until it is on its last legs.

Bet they are planting tainted seeds as well just to get rid of them, as surely they wouldn't plant anything that would cost them out of their own pockets.
That said, I'm sure passive smoking at izakayas takes more lives that a few microsieverts a year...

China is really pushing the envelope these days. I am concerned as to what will happen to Hong Kong in 30 years time - if China hasn't collapsed internally before that time.

Even my sleepy old hole in Australia runs trains hourly after midnight on Friday and Saturday nights, until 3am - not that you'd want to be on one for your own safety, but if it's possible there, surely the experts in Japan can do it.

I think its more to do with Japan doing a dirty (from C's perspective) behind China's back with their more democratic renegade state. I saw a map on the TV, and the amount of concessions by Japan and Taiwan in terms of area is pretty minuscule on either side of the border - the actual fact that an agreement was signed is what is significant.

Was shopping at the Kisarazu Outlet mall last week, and one of the men's outlet stores had a shelf of shoes "Made in Myanmar". The shoes themselves seemed quite on par with other generic "made in XXX" shoes, and I wondered just how soon business had taken root in that country. Bravo capitalism and exploiting cheap-azz labor!!

Is this situation similar to Japan in the 1930s and the leadup to WW2 bombing Pearl Habor due to increased international sanctions? Japan only wanted to keep the US out of the Pacific by disabling their fleet, not actually bring them into the war, so that Japan could have unrestricted reign over the resources in SE Asia. From history we know what happens in the US when a few thousand people die due to the actions of enemy forces.
So is NK doing this in response to sanctions, and believe that they can actually defeat the world's most powerful military? It seems Jong Un just wants to ensure his regime's own survival, but everything he has done over the last month is threatening to destabilize it. There is no way he could make a dent to the US without getting bombed back to the stone age - maybe he wants to take down SK in a blaze of glory.
