Ness screams with glee at the final try. Her team had been thrashing the competition and with seconds to go, there was no chance of Hertsfordshire and Jammbo winning now. She had lightly injured her leg again within the first 10 minutes, so she had been watching from the sidelines with Aina fussing every couple of seconds.
 
Aina hisses a joyful 'Yessss' as the time counts down. The team has been working hard and their effort has been paying off. Tomorrow's game would be the most important, and Aina had little advice for them to improve. She had been watching Giovanniland's recent games, and noting their play style. Finding weaker points. They were a strong team, no doubt about that. She had then been feeding these points in the form of advice to her team. Not targeting the other team, not mentioning that that was what Giovanniland was weaker in. Just advice. They had used some of it in the game today.
 
Ness reaches over and hugs her. "Mind your leg!" She replies worriedly as she hugs her back. The rest of the team rushed over and joined in, squishing the two. 
 
Aina had helped Ness walk back to the locker room, where a medic checked over her leg for the 2nd time. Aine waited as the rest of the team got changed.
 
After, she got them to huddle around her for her post game speech. "Excellent work everyone, you didn't let any drama hold you down or hold you back. I can see you all took my advice to heart and used it. Keep using it. Here are some further points we need to focus on -"
 
Kasper walks in, listening in. He was proud of Aina. She had taken on the role of coach easily, and was playing it well. She knew how to help her team, where to place her advice and how to phrase it. Her demonstrations were flawless. He still wasn't too sure why she gave up the captain role to be the coach after the last one passed away. 
 
Aina walks over. "Everything okay?" She smiles at the man in deep thought. He nods "I was going to ask you the same thing." He pats her upper arm, a sign of care. She looks over at Ness, who was watching back. "Yeah. I'm worried about Ness, I don't want her to be out for longer than another game." She huffs. "Cute." Kasper follows her line of sight "I'm sure she will survive." He waves at Ness, and she waves back politely. 
 
A few hours later, Aina hears a knock at her hotel door. She finishes tightening the belt of her jumpsuit and opens it to see Ness there. She had a crutch under one arm, and her smile was contagious. "The Team is going to eat now, so I've come to pick you up." She jests. Aina inspects her trouser and shirt combo as she replies "Sure. Let me just grab my phone and that." She motions for Ness to come in as she turns away from the door. Ness holds the door open as she grabs her things "A bit mean of them to send the injured one to collect me." She jokes, pocketing her phone. "I volunteered." Ness shrugs, moving out of the way for her to close the door behind them. 
 
"Still,you should be taking it light. Want me to take your bag?" She asks as they walk down the hall. Ness passes it. "What were you and Kasper talking about? You seem close." She sounded nervous almost. "Kasper used to be my mentor when I did archery. He helped convince my parents to change the focus to Rugby. A good friend, and I trust him well. He was just asking about me, and I mentioned you." She shrugs, taking slower steps to keep with Ness. "He's known to be a bit of a flirt. Be careful-" Ness's warning is cut off by laughter. "Kasper knows who is available for him. He keeps trying to set me up with a friend of his sister. She's pretty but I don't want to deal with politics all the time." Aina pushes the down button for the lift, not noticing the blush on Ness's face. "Oh okay… I spoke to my mother by the way. She's excited now so you can't back out." She says as the elevator pings and the door opens. Aina puts her arm across so the doors won't close as Ness shuffles in. "I wouldn't dream of it." 

Thousands of fans in the streets of Sanctus Leo
 
Thousands of enthusiastic fans have taken to the streets in Sanctus Leo and in cities throughout Saint Mark to show support for their Lions Royal Rugby team. Although a new sport to Saint Mark, rugby fever is spreading quickly, fueled by the efforts of the royal team.
One participant said, "Rugby is cool now! My son and I were able to attend most of the Lions' practices last summer and haven't missed a game on TV. He and his friends have started to play rugby together and his school plans to create a team this spring. Go Lions!!!"

Image of the new Ministry of Justice building in New Zoradia

NEW ZORADIA, Zoran – Earlier today the Ministry of Justice stated that it had received a settlement offer from the Santo-Dominian Cable-Satellite Network but have refused it.
"As we are pressing these charges on behalf of the Zoranian people, we feel it would be not be right to take the settlement offered by SDCSN," Ministress Lanesa commented, "the people want justice and we intend to give them that through a fair and just trial. This is a test of the new laws put in place by our Queen and the people want to see people held to them regardless of their origin or status."
Blubberman, the former SDCSN news reporter who made an offensive comment live on air days ago, is to be on remand until his trial date which is expected to take place next week. SDCSN is also being charged with allowing for the distribution of hate speech on their network and will be charged alongside Mr. Blubberman.
Other nations have sided with Zoran on this matter believing for Blubberman's words to have been unjust and offensive; however, some nations disagree saying that the legal action against him and his removal are a threat to freedom of press and freedom of speech while others argue that he is a victim of excessive political correctness. Dalimbar has also made it clear that they agreed with Blubberman and that he did nothing wrong. Some in Larxia have also sided with Blubberman saying that it was unfortunate that he was fired.
The controversy raises questions that we face in the modern world in relation to what is appropriate to be said and what the proper response should be in when a public figure makes a controversial statement. Only time will tell whether we will ever find a clear answer to these questions.

The Saint Mark Royal Lions got back on track with a 10-0 win over Teralyon, as Hugo Dasher scored two tries. The loss to Zoran, although expected, was a heart-break for the Lions since it was so close, but they made up for it with today's blow-out.
Christopher Dancer scored his second try in two games and Dasher crossed twice before the break, with Dancer nailing all three conversions.
Nelson Saint Mark sealed the bonus point with a try early in the second half and Michael Hawk added a late fifth. Saint Mark avoided conceding any points to Teralyon.
"We put a big emphasis on today. If we were to move forward, we had to win," responded Coach Rahl.
The result keeps the Lions in the running, but their next match against Santos-Dominius will prove more difficult.

[With the radio debacle over and done with, the intrepid trio are pondering over their cars when Jeremy revealed some suspect explosives from an infamous Polaris nation. This took place before the most recent Star Breaker team update in the timeline]
Jeremy Clarkson: Darkness has fallen and we've finally reached the bottom of the drive.
Richard Hammond: Phew, we made it.
Jeremy Clarkson: Joy of joys!
[2 hours later]
Jeremy Clarkson: It's taken us 2 hours for us to reach the city limits at the top of it.
James May: Welcome to not-Leo Rugiet.
Jeremy Clarkson: Thank you. Here, there are no spare bedrooms so I've decided to try another new sort of tenting.
Richard Hammond: You know what?
James May: What?
Richard Hammond: We started this. I liked all 3 cars. I still do, but my conviction that the Capel is the best is now absolute, I just...
Jeremy Clarkson: [snorts]
James May: I still find it slightly sort of...
Richard Hammond: What?
James May: There's still a slight hint of faux toff-ery about it.
Richard Hammond: Gah?!
James May: It suits you very well obviously, but the great thing about the Oniisan is it's just a finely honed driving instrument.
Richard Hammond: Well no I wo- okay, on the Quatfordring, yours is awesome.
James May: Don't mention the Quatfordring.
Richard Hammond: But that's what it's for James.
James May: No it's not!
Richard Hammond: And Jeremy, your FM. It does look brilliant.
Jeremy Clarkson: There you go.
James May: It's a very competent motor car, the FMW.
Jeremy Clarkson: That's damning with fake praise that is May.
James May: Yes, exactly.
Jeremy Clarkson: Yours is a bit too Dimm & Vesce, yours is a bit too DeltaLand. They're both brilliant cars make no mistake.
Richard Hammond: What are you doing by the way?
Jeremy Clarkson: Landmines, they're mines, I brought them from Dalimbar. Ring our campsite with landmines and any 'aminal' that comes, [mimicks explosion], they will be- it will become a veneer.
[1 laying of landmines later]
Jeremy Clarkson: With my work done, and you two having drunk all the beer, we should turn in for the night.
[That night]
[An explosion is seen and heard in a flash of light]
Richard Hammond: What was that?!
Jeremy Clarkson: That was the sound of me saving your life.
[The next morning]
Richard Hammond: Our campsite looks like an abattoir.
[Hammond spots a body part on the ground]
Richard Hammond: What's this?
Jeremy Clarkson: Lion's arm.
Richard Hammond: It's hairy.
Jeremy Clarkson: Lions do have hairy arms.
James May: They don't even have arms.
Jeremy Clarkson: They do! That was a lion who was coming to eat us! And my landmine saved our lives.
James May [sarcastically]: Look what we've got here Hammond, it's a lions foot.
[May picks up a human foot]
Richard Hammond: You've detonated an innocent person.
Jeremy Clarkson: Let's not get bogged down with who blew up...
 
Maybe we should get bogged down with the fact that someone has been detonated by Clarkson's landmine. Hopefully it wasn't anyone important...
We think we may need to run. Goodbye for now!
 
                  

Good morning, everyone! I am Karlo Nakamura-Edrense, and am pleased to say that the Rugby Report has returned after four days, as the Giovannilandian rugby team enjoyed a bye in Matchday 3. Therefore, we'll talk about Matchday 4, which had the third match played by our rugby team. We'll discuss how it went, other teams' performances, and what to expect next!
Giovanniland 24-25 Larxia (Halftime: 12-10)
Tries: Demetro Gianluka (12'), Rivano Markellana-Tarrutio (25', 66'), Amelia Severina-Albugio (78')
Conversions: Demetro Gianluka (13'), Rivano Markellana-Tarrutio (67')
The Rugby Match — Matchday 4 saw our team play against another Andolian team, this time Larxia. They opened the match five minutes in, with a try and then a successful conversion scored by their captain Jake Kirk. However, seven minutes later, Giovanniland's Demetrio equaled the match after similarly scoring a try and a conversion. Loosehead prop Rivano then increased the score with another try, although failing to gain two more via a conversion. Larxia diminished the point gap after their player Richie Rich scored a drop goal, but Giovanniland stayed in the lead during halftime, with a score of 12-10.
However, the second half wouldn't be so good as the first one for the Giovannilandian team. Two sudden tries by the Larxians Brodie Whitelock and Cameron Kubrick turned the tables, although captain Rivano would later bring the Giovannilandian score closer with another try, this time succeeding to convert. The final minutes of the match were tense, with a try by outside centre Amelia giving Giovanniland a glimpse of hope after taking back the lead 24-20. However, in the stoppage time, Larxia's Brock Levi would score a try and return the score into a loss for the Giovannilandian team, whose players tried to reply with at least a drop goal but were eventually stopped by the referee's final whistle.
The coach Aquila Pinario-Oddo commented on the match, stating that it was a very close match and that they were proud of the Giovannilandian players for being a significant challenge for the opponents to overcome. Furthermore, while fans were distraught by another defeat, Aquila noted that the close score against Larxia, especially the 24 points scored, may very well be the decisive factor for a Giovannilandian qualification or not, provided the team wins their next match against Blue Bubble, as then it would come down to point differential.
What's Next? Mathematical Analysis Shows — Following the two MD4 results for Group C, Larxia has guaranteed the group's first place with 12 points after passing through all four matches unbeaten, whereas Hanita Gracse has not won any match thus far and is eliminated. However, for the other three teams—Blue Bubble, Giovanniland, and Hertfordshire and Jammbo—their results as well as others' may decide whether they qualify or not. Therefore, the team here at our Rugby Report has put together a detailed table of every possible match result and their impact on the group standings, except for the already decided 1st place.
PD means point differential, and the scenario marked with (*) means that, depending on PD and points scored, pretty much any combinations between GIO, HEJ and HGS alternating between 3rd, 4th and 5th can happen. Lavender means Giovanniland qualifies, orange means Hertfordshire and Jammbo qualifies, and blue means Blue Bubble qualifies. Therefore, this shows that Blue Bubble has the most chances, needing only to draw their game to secure their spot. Giovanniland has the second highest, albeit small chance, as they just need to win by a large margin and hope that the one scenario of H&J doing the same doesn't happen. Last but not least, H&J needs to not only win their game and have a higher PD than both Blue Bubble and Giovanniland, but also hope for Giovanniland to defeat Blue Bubble by any score.
GIO vs. BLB HEJ vs. HGS 2nd 3rd 4th 5th GIO wins (15+ points) HGS wins (5+ points) GIO (6) BLB (6) HGS (3) HEJ (3) HGS wins (3 points) HEJ (3) HGS (3) Draw HEJ (4) HGS (1) HEJ wins, has PD ≤ BLB HEJ (6) HGS (0) HEJ wins, has PD ≤ GIO HEJ (6) BLB (6) HEJ wins, has PD > GIO HEJ (6) GIO (6) GIO wins (3-14 points) HGS wins (5+ points) BLB (6) HGS (3) HEJ (3) HGS wins (3 points) HEJ (3) HGS (3) Draw HEJ (4) HGS (1) HEJ wins, has PD ≤ GIO HEJ (6) HGS (0) HEJ wins, has PD ≤ BLB HEJ (6) GIO (6) HEJ wins, has PD > BLB HEJ (6) BLB (6) Draw HGS wins (5+ points) BLB (7) GIO (4) HGS (3) HEJ (3) HGS wins (3 points) HEJ (3) HGS (3) Draw HEJ (4) GIO (4) HGS (1) HEJ wins (any score) HEJ (6) HGS (0) BLB wins (any score) HGS wins (any score)* BLB (9) GIO, HEJ and HGS (3)* Draw HEJ (4) GIO (3) HGS (1) HEJ wins (any score) HEJ (6) GIO (3) HGS (0) Elsewhere in the Cup — As a follow up to our previous report, we will also be covering both Matchday 3 and 4 results for other nations! Let's start by Group A. In MD3, Denieria's 13-17 defeat to Santos-Dominius saw them eliminated from the competition, whereas Zoran climbed to the top of the group after winning 27-15 against Teralyon. The Teralyans were also unlucky on the next matchday, defeated 0-10 by Saint Mark and thus eliminated as well. Zoran's MD4 victory of 21-7 against Santos-Dominius cemented their qualification, while Saint Mark and Santos-Dominius' MD5 match will define who gets the other spot. Regardless of the result, Aurans should be proud that their continent dominated Group A!
Aura wasn't so lucky in Group B, however. Dilber, the only team representing our continent, was eliminated after successive defeats to Dalimbar and Fujai, 5-23 and 7-10 respectively. The same fate happened to Einherfell after losing to Nieubasria 16-31 and so far not winning any game. Meanwhile, MD4 saw a Dalimbari 10-3 win against Nieubasria that also confirmed the former a spot in the knockout round. This leaves two other Polarian teams, Nieubasria and Fujai, in contention for the second spot—both have to win the match against the other, or else risk elimination. 
In Group C, besides Giovanniland's matches, MD3 saw a Larxian 17-3 victory against fellow Andolian team Hertfordshire and Jammbo, who had decisively defeated Giovanniland one matchday earlier. The elimination of Hanita Gracse also happened on the same day, when they lost 20-22 to our Lavender Island neighbors Blue Bubble in a close match. Talking about Blue Bubble, they have also been on a two-win surge after losing their initial match, their second win also coming against H&J with a score of 32-16. As you can see in the table above, it will be an exciting MD5 for Blue Bubble, Giovanniland, and H&J as the three all fight for the second place spot in Group C—whereas Larxia has guaranteed the first place.
Last but not least, Group D's third matchday saw a close match between Cambria and United Adaikes result in a 19-24 win for the latter, whereas Nagaraningrad defeated Qostaoyae 22-8. However, following MD4 results, both Nagaraningrad and Qostaoyae, as well as Min-Su, were all eliminated from competition as United Adaikes and Cambria won their respective matches and surged to nine points each. United Adaikes won against Qostaoyae 24-10, whereas Cambria defeated Min-Su 23-20, with the former standing in first place due to point differential. Cambria has a bye on MD5, but depending on United Adaikes' future performance against Nagaraningrad, the two teams may switch places.
Odds and Ends — Five days ago, the Giovannilandian Rugby Confederation published a statement strongly urging Blubberman, head sports correspondent of the Santo-Dominian Cable-Satellite Network Channel 3, to apologize for making inciteful comments about various nations of Esferos, especially the host nation Zoran. Furthermore, the statement also suggested the SDCSN to consider another head sports correspondent to take their place. 
Following our last edition of the Rugby Report, calls for Blubberman's removal intensified in his home country Santos-Dominius, and tensions rose to a high after Zoranian rugby fans even denied the Santo-Dominian rugby team entry in the stadium before the two countries' match, until Team SD also condemned Blubberman's actions in a statement. The end result has been successful, with the reporter not only fired from SDCSN, but also facing charges from the Zoranian Ministry of Justice for violating the nation's Hate Speech Act.

[On the way to the stadium where the match with Blue Bubble was to be played, the Star Breaker decided to get their minds off the shock hammering by Larxia and discuss some things that have been on their minds.]

Naho Sotirova: I stand by that.
Diego Adamov: I fail to see the relevance Niko.
Patrick Manev: I'm pulling over then.
[The Star Breaker - Rugby version - pulled over and checked the news.]
Chihiro Freimanis: Um, so we're here.
Seiya Nikolov: The stadium is just down north then. That is helpful.
Hyouka Felteke [pops up from underneath Chara]: I need you to confirm something.
Chara Dreimanis: Hyouka, I'm not helping you with your experiments on 'body-melding'.
Embry Obalkanska: Not this again...
Hyouka Felteke: It's not that this time. It's a report concerning the Santo-Dominian team.
Mizore Savenko: That's the team with the insane reporter and overbearing bureaucrat.
Ongo Sidopliassova: *unintelligible* [translation: Could I see that please?]
Hyouka Felteke: Alright, here.
Ongo Sidopliassova: [slight gasp]
Machi Mihailova: Did you find something?
[Ongo shows everyone the news regarding the Zoran/Santos-Dominius match]
Harold McGavrilov V: Woah.
Ougi Ostrovske: Don't be daft, that didn't happen.
[Ongo facepalms and shakes his head in disbelief]
Yoshikage Kramlis: It clearly happened, it's right in front of you.
Naho Sotirova: You know it's real, stop lying.
Ougi Ostrovske: I have, I'm trying to get past it!
Naho Sotirova: You really make yourself look like an idiot sometimes.
Embry Obalkanska: It says here that the Santo-Dominian team were unable to enter the stadium because it was blocked by a mob of Zoranians. They're furious with Blubberman.
Chihiro Freimanis: I don't blame them. He's not very nice.
Harold McGavrilov V: He's the only reporter with any sense in this tournament.
[The rest of the team all glance at Harold]
Harold McGavrilov V: What?
Niko Balodis: Forget it.
Damian Haat: So the SDCSN are at the centre of this?
Mizore Savenko: Yeah.
Damian Haat: Understood Mizore.
Takumi Furman: Can we go now? I need to deliver this stuff.
Nagisa Ivanovaulait: Alright alright, we'll go.
Lits Filaktri: So ladies, when your 'phylactery' is broken...
Mizore Savenko: Oh no.
Origami Tsvetanova: I don't like where this is going.
Patrick Manev: Brace for verbal impact!
Lits Fílaktri: ...your usual comportment vanishes without a trace. With your husband's every motion, you writhe and moan in pleasure.
Diego Adamov: Objection! Don't go any further, this is only you who thinks this.
Lits Fílaktri: In this state, you can only think of your husban-
Richard Hammond: Please just stop talking completely now.
[Everyone looks over in surprise to find Hammond and May, returned at last from their stint on the radio]
Lits Fílaktri: I'm just trying to show the other girls that the enigmatic desire and pleasure are what the ultimate happiness consists of. 
Richard Hammond: All you've accomplished is horrifying them and everyone else!
Ougi Ostrovske: Your studies will be why your breasts are so massive, I'm guessing.
Lits Fílaktri: My boobs are natural. I'm very proud of them.
Ougi Ostrovske: Go figure.
Lits Fílaktri: I'll tell you what the best 'spirit energy' is too.
Richard Hammond: Save it!
Galatea Sahaidachny: I don't mind talking about it. I've read something similar to that with my son.  
Richard Hammond: ...Yeah... so, what's going on?
Origami Tsvetanova: Oh, hi you two. And... who is that?
Promestein Paskaleva: I'm Promestein. The one who gave the humans in my area fire.
Damian Haat: Just the humans?
Promestein Paskaleva: Yes. Their thirst for knowledge is incredible, so I introduced them to fire to help them along.
Stanislava Artemenko: How primitive are these people where you're from?!
Promestein Paskaleva: Very. But that doesn't mean anything to them. It's quite admirable really.
Lits Fílaktri: I like this lady already.
Krux Andersons: I hesitate to call that good news. Oh to hell with it, it's bad news.
James May: Oi, get in the cars you idle sods!
Takumi Furman: You heard him, come on.
Promestein Paskaleva: I'll tell you more about my studies while we're driving.
Lits Fílaktri: Sounds good! As for my studies, I'll have to just convince you all another time. It's not like I'll ever stop trying.
Promestein Paskaleva: Yes.
Almost Everyone Else Present: No!!!
Ongo Sidopliassova [at same time as the above]: *gibberish* [translation: No!!!]
 
[Kou 'Kibiki' Kovalenko heard all that. He shouldn't keep his student waiting. But now he truly knows why Star Breaker is the most dysfunctional team in the tournament. Let's face it, it's by quite a margin.]

15th February, 1422 (The day of the SDS v. ZOR match)
8:30 am
Inside A Travel Coach
Spirit Park Rugby Stadium
Zoran
"No, no, no, no!" James Di Fiorino, coach of the Santo-Dominian national rugby team, yelled as he walked up and down the aisle of the travel coach he was in.
Seated in the coach and in visible fear were the rugby players themselves, having been denied entry into the stadium by angry Zoranian fans. The situation wasn't good - with their sponsorship from Credit Santosie-Dominigne now ruining their image in Zoran and the Blubberman scandal at its climax, Di Fiorino wasn't sure that the match could even go ahead. Panicking, he called team manager Lenny Madeley on the phone.
"Hey Leonard," Di Fiorino said, "What do we do about this mess? That Blubberman fella has been a real idiot. He's dragging us all down with him! The fans have surrounded the stadium. I don't think our players can get into it safely."
"I'm as concerned as you are, Jimmy," Madeley replied, "We obviously can't thrust our players into the stadium and make them endure that kind of abuse. But if we don't enter at all, I fear that we may be forfeiting the match and handing the Zoranians an automatic win. Now that would be a damn humiliation."
"What can we do then? As long as the fans are here - and I assure you they gon' be here for very long - we're trapped. We gotta make a move, Leonard; we need to calm things down. Say, that Blubberman guy's the real monster them Zoranians want to pelt with their eggs and tomatoes - why don't we release a statement or whatever to distance ourselves from him? I betcha the fans will cool off a little, and then we can try to get our boys in safe and sound."
"Y'know, I don't like this idea. I don't like at all, not even a lil' bit. Puttin' out a statement like that is a real political move, Jimmy. It's dangerous. We'll be makin' headlines, and some folks back home are bound to get riled real quick."
As he mulled over the options, Di Fiorino looked at his team. They were clearly exhausted by the media attention. Some of them were heavily asleep, others looking out the window with their eyebrows furrowed, and some sweating in desperation and nervousness. The criticisms from international media and Zoranian pundits were getting to them - youngest member and team captain Damian Haize-Ashknight was under a great deal of stress to hold himself together.
"Leonard, my boys are at their breakin' point. I can't bear to see them like this," Di Fiorino said. "They're just great rugby players comin' all the way east to play a damn good game, and I wanna be able to give 'em the chance to do that. These guys have been practicin' for years to face off against similarly-talented people, like the Zoranians. Let's put a statement out. Let's at least give it a shot."
"I'll do it, Jimmy, just this once," Madeley replied. "You know I don't like gettin' political - it's one of the worst mistakes sports people can do - but I'm gonna do it for the boys. Tell them to hold on for a bit longer, Jimmy, keep 'em afloat - I'll do the dirty work for ya."
"Thanks Leonard, you're a lifesaver. The boys will be really happy to be able to play this match without havin' to worry 'bout hell rainin' down on their heads."
Hours later, on the S-D rugby team's social media account...

Kassakira walks across the park, enjoying the sun in Leo Rugiet. Finally, she stopped in a good spot, and sat on the bench in the sunshine. She sighs. It's been a long week. She watches some kids play in the park. She had worked a lot to get to this moment in her life, but what has she actually got to show for it? 
A quaint apartment, bodyguards, and people thinking she deserves the most respect ever. She doesn't. She's just a human, just like them. This is why she likes not making a scene, or a grand entrance. After all, she has spent years in the spotlight. Her great grandfather couped the government into military power for years. Her grandfather started the most prestigious military school in the country. Her mother owned one of the top technology companies in the nation. 
Obviously she had to do something amazing. Her brother now has a bronze medal and is ranked highly in the world for archery. What would he had achieved if it wasn't for her?
She didn't know. She didn't want to know. 
Those who dare to think, achieve things never thought would be achievable. But those thoughts are dangerous. Somethings are unachievable for a reason. 
Her grandfather lived by that kind of advice. 
Has she done right for her country? Results are still uncertain. She snaps out of her thoughts and gets up. No use wasting time on silly thoughts. She heads back to the hotel.

While waiting for the next Dalimbari rugby match, Marshal Markus Briand was essentially channel surfing. One of the few in the nation to be able to get channels from the outside, for "monitoring purposes", he stumbled upon a show detailing the "Blubberman scandal". For the Dalimbari head of state, the presenter wasn't necessarily wrong... If the presenter wasn't visibly insane, he might have done well enough on Dalimbari television.
"Ivan! Get the troll bots ready! #BlubbermanWasRight and all that nonsense!"

Prince Marcarius folded his newspaper, placed it on the desk and took a final sip of his South Coast Blend.
"Clarkson, it always amazes me how the foibles of one person can cause so much trouble. This commentator person, what's his name ... Blubberman or something ... is either a drunk, unstable or a fool. Santos-Dominian was on the wrong side of this nasty war and this sort of thing tears open a barely healing wound. The Zoranians have suffered so much. I wish they could find some peace. Please send my support to Queen Atsil and also have Ringman draft an official statement from the Crown for my review."

Aina watches as the team spends a few minutes to relax.
The hotel that the team had been put in was certainly as luxurious as per what her parents paid towards. She was just glad that her name didn't mean she would be waited on hand and foot.
Ness walks over and sits beside her. "Hey Aina, are you alright?" 
The question caught her off guard, the ripples of the poolside come back into her ears as she looks up at her. She smiles gently as she responds "yeah. I just have a lot on my mind." She sits up.
Ness smiles "Well, can I lighten the load?"
Aina knew where Ness had come from. In Glenpavia, there are two kinds of schools:
1. The Military schools that the likes of her and Kassakira and Kasper Petrovikan attended. The highest quality education that could be provided, training in obeying and ruling with a strong hand. Many students lead a wealthy life after graduation - whether from old money or new. 
2. The General schools that the likes of Ness and Tennie the Reporter attended. The education was up to code, but those who switch from general to military say it just lacks the edge that military has. Maybe it was really the lack of investors too. Students like Ness and Tennie are rare - average schools create average citizens. That's what her mother used to say.
"I think you would laugh. Posh girl stuff." She almost laughs. Ness sighs "Stop dividing us like that. You try and understand my 'poor girl stuff' so let me try and understand yours." She replies frustrated.
Aina kind of folds up, her shoulder screaming at the ache of the stretch. She hadn't been working out as well as she should had been recently, and it was taking affect. "I know. But you should focus on the game tomorrow. You need to win." 
Ness huffs, inspecting her back. "And we will do our best to do so. We needed to work on our defense, and it's really improved. And your advice in the lockers will really help. Have you got a knot in your shoulder?"
Aina nods, and Ness moves to sit behind her on the sunbed. She shuffles so she is for the most part comfortable in such a awkward position, having to lay against the propped up back of the sunbed to actually move her arms. 
Ness had actually did a course on sports massage therapy a few months prior, and it was paying off. Aina finally replies, pained but relieved "my parents are already disappointed in me. I don't know why I care - I mean… they wanted me to go into Archery, and now it's like I already haven't lived up to their standards by being the coach- ow" she ends her speech with a whine.
Ness grabs her arm and pulls it back and down "relax your shoulders, you're just building up tension. Carry on." 
Aina drops her shoulders "so like… if we don't win or get into a decent place, I'll just have disappointed them further. They have said that. I'd be disowned. Money and that won't be a issue but I don't want to lose my family."
Ness thinks for a moment "Blood is important, but this team you've been working with for the past year… I see it as one big family. My mother has been desperate to meet you for months now, wanting to test her family own recipe of fish soup since I mentioned you went for the sea bass… again." She smiles "Family comes in many forms, and I think we can make sure you have family. The kind that don't see you as a disappointment for going after your dreams." 
Aina doesn't reply as Ness carries on working her shoulder. Finally she says "Make sure you all get enough sleep tonight. H and J won't make tomorrow easy on us." Her tone serious.
Ness laughs "I'll pass the message on. You know they call you Neny right?" 
"What do you mean They? The team?" She turns to look at her, pausing Ness's help.
"Yeah. It's Neny Aina and Neny Ness. Because we care about them like mothers do." 
Aina grins, and it reaches her eyes for once. "That's cute. Do you not call me that?"
Ness shakes her head "I rather not. You are junior to me afterall." She jokes.
Aina scoffs "by 5 months! We would had been in the same year at school you know!"
"Yeah, but you would had been a popular girl and I'd just be the rugby dork!" She giggles, in the way that held some honestly in her voice.
"Oh no, I'd be right beside you as a rugby dork too" Aina scoots round to face her star player, and her captain.
"What? With a pretty face like that?" It was Ness's turn to scoff "Never. All the boys would be all over you."
Aine rolls her eyes "I wouldn't had given them any attention." She grumbles, blushing at the compliment.
They both became painfully aware of how close they were, when they heard a glass smash. They turn to the sound to see a elderly lady laughing over her own perhaps slightly drunken mishap.
Ness gets up, and Aina glances up at her. "I will give the team a pep talk now.." she looks back at her, nerves peaking at the end of her sentence.
Aina nods at the suggestion "sounds good. I'll follow in 5." She looks back at the pool "Your mother. I don't mind meeting her when we get home." 
Ness smiles "I'll let her know."

TRANSCRIPT:
Hello everyone, I am Noya Priscian, filling in for Quiyakaso to bring you breaking news! I am currently outside Spirit Park Stadium where protestors are preventing the Santos-Dominius rugby team from entering the stadium in response to recent offensive comments made by SDCSN’s Blubberman about the Zoranian people. The protestors have spent the past few minutes jeering and insulting the athletes as they try to enter the stadium. The reasons for targeting the team is due to their sponsorship by Santos-Dominians companies, one being SDCSN, and, by their reasoning, since they allow themselves to be sponsored by an organization that allows for their anchorman to make such offensive comments about the people of this country, the team and their owners do not appear to have made any comment which denounces the words of Blubberman and the SDCSN as of yet and thus can be associated and are thus ok with being sponsored by a company that throws out racist remarks. It must also be mentioned that it was made public shortly after the civil war ended that there was evidence of financial backing by Credit Santosie-Dominigne of the Corporate faction here in Zoran during the conflict, which does not help the Santos-Dominian company when it comes to how the Zoranian people perceive them as the words of Blubberman add to the fire of corpo-skepticism here in the country. Police have been called to the scene to clear a path for the athletes to enter the stadium for the match today. It has also recently been announced by the Ministry of Justice that it will be pressing charges against SDCSN and Blubberman for violating Part 3 Section 18 of the Hate Speech Act of 1421. More details on that can be found under the politics section on the RNN website. That is all from me for now and I will return with further developments, now back to the studio!

Teran Ny Miara Glenpavia
President of the Seven Hundred,
I am writing to you on behalf of our current leader, Mpitarika Kassakira Petrovikan, concerning recent events involving our naval personnel. She has requested that I handle current communication on this matter to keep privacy at this time.
In the morning of 09FEB22, our general commands centre received intelligence of your endeavour of addressing an illicit border crossing by one of our naval ships. Upon further investigation, we have discovered that this has happened multiple times over the past year - dating back to 30MAR21. I express my apologies towards this situation, and have halted current monitoring by naval vessels there until further notice, instead we are monitoring our Territorial borders double fold.
Due to the way this was handled by your officers, I would like to ask for a verbal conversation on the matter to focus on what to do going forward. As a Military man myself, I have noted the training that was practised in this situation, and I am impressed by the skills of your force. As of current, our ship has been placed under maintenance review and our officers on paid leave while we continue our investigation.
I hope for your reply in earnest and with eagerness.
