United Adaikes Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Please do not post in this thread if you are not a participant. Also, no OOC posts, please. Welcome to Rugby World Cup V! This is an international rugby union tournament. If you are a participant, you can start posting about your nation's rugby team (logo, players, kits, and any other related information). You can also post about your team's preparations for this event! Another important thing to include in your roster post is the "role play permissions". If you want to role play while making sure that the other RPer(s) won't do inevitable things you don't want to happen to your team, you can post these below outlining what the other RPers can or cannot do, for example: RP permissions: If my opponent RPs first, they may... Choose my try scorers: Y/N Choose my kicker: Y/N RP injuries: Y/N Godmod scoring events: Y/N Godmod injuries: Y/N Godmod other events: Y/N The last three permissions, godmodding, is the role playing unrealistic or unbelievable things happening. So if you want a more realistic experience for your team (and what we hopefully want in the games for the duration of the tournament), you can ask other RPers not to godmod in your matches. You can also add, leave, or remove any role permissions you want. It's your team, so we will let you dictate the way your team plays (as long as it is realistic). Also, you can include what we call a "style modifier". This is a number between -5 and +5, which indicates if you are a defensive (leaning to negative numbers) or an offensive (leaning to positive numbers) team. If you don't put one, you'll automatically get a neutral modifier (0.00), and that is just fine. There will be 3 attributes that will determine the skill of a team for the scorinator (xkoranate): base skill, RP post bonuses, roster bonus. 30% of the base skill and 70% of the total of the RP post bonuses and roster bonus will be the basis for the skill attribute of a team in the scorinator. The base skill will be from the latest Rugby Rankings being managed by the Free State of Dalimbar. NPCs will have their base skill halved in the scorinator during the whole duration of the tournament. As this is a sports RP event, all RPs made by a participant will be given a bonus. However, we believe in "Quality over quantity". It does not mean that a participant with the most number of RP posts in the tournament will have the highest RP bonus. It should be known that multiple posts of a participant before a specific matchday will only be credited to that incoming matchday alone except for posts about the team roster, as it is also a different RP bonus attribute. For RP posts, the highest score that a participant can receive in a specific matchday is 1 point, with the lowest score being 0.1, based on the quality of the current best RP for that matchday, as determined by the OOC host. On succeeding matchdays, the RP bonus received from the previous matchdays will be accumulated to the total RP post bonus. The roster bonus is about your team (as mentioned above, the logo, players, kits, and any other related information). Participants posting only the starting XV of their team will only receive 0.5 points. Posting 31 or more players will receive 1 point. Anything between 15-30 will have 0.70 points. Roster bonus will be doubled if a participant submits a comprehensive team information (with team logo and kit(s) at the minimum receiving at least a 1.2x multiplier for the roster bonus). With this, may I request that the post regarding your roster shall be posted first and your RP for the first matchday shall be separate. If you have any questions, you can always ask me in Discord. You can DM me or drop your question in #rwc5 of the RP server. You can also ask me in the OOC thread. Note: Reserving posts are only for the IC host (Overthinkers) and OOC host (United Adaikes).

Overthinkers Posted June 19 Posted June 19 We are honored to welcome the world to the Republic of Overthinkers for the Rugby World Cup V. Our doors are open for all to partake in our rich culture and visual marvels, both natural and man-made. It is our goal that all of you not only enjoy the event, but enjoy the journey itself. What is Overthinkers, anyway? Overthinkers is situated on the eastern coast of Andolia, the historic gateway of commerce between Auran powers and the central and south regions of the continent. In between its advanced, modern cities are wide swaths of mighty forests and charming homesteads. It is the largest economy in Andolia. Its two most significant cities are Aurum, the center of government and culture, and Cangham, the center of commerce and industry. The lands of Overthinkers are the ancestral home to five people groups: the Antali, the Brunnes, the Ethaertin, the Kargan, and the Koard. After centuries of struggling for power and subjugation, the modern Republic was formed out of a vision for a unified, egalitarian system. The symbol on our flag comes from native tradition and signifies a multitude acting as one. How will I get there? Travelers for the World Cup are advised to book flights to Cangham International Airport. Not only does KNG have the widest selection of regular commercial flights, but you will be right in the center of the action. You will also have easy access to the other match sites and attractions by catching a train across the street at Nuron Central Station. The RugbyPass™ is available at all National Transit Authority stations, providing unlimited fare on our public transit system for the duration of the event at a deeply discounted price. Automotive travelers are particularly advised to use caution on the Barrett-Maxwell International Highway due to the anticipated increase in tractor traffic from Hertfordshire and Jammbo. Where will the games be played? RWC5 matches will be played at eight different locations across the country. Premier Site (A) - Cangham Cangham is the largest city in Overthinkers. Its skyscrapers and industrial parks are balanced with a very reasonable amount of greenspace and public facilities. Cangham will host Group A matches as well as knockout matches all the way through to the finals. Grand Merchen Stadium, Cangham Grand Merchen Stadium is the best of the best in outdoor sporting arenas. Named in honor of the late Geoff Merchen, the most prolific patron of sport in Overthinkers history, the stadium opened for business in 1421. Since then, it has been the site of the Tryhards Rugby League (TRY RL) Championship, as well as other turf sports. It has a seating capacity of 89,000, the largest in the country. Merchen will be the site of the semifinal and final matches. Len Condor Stadium, Cangham Len Condor Stadium is the home field of the Cangham Condors TRY RL team. It has a seating capacity of 47,000, and is second only to Merchen in terms of luxury options for spectators. This stadium will host Round of 16 and quarterfinal matches. Site B - Hestmere Hestmere sits on the edge between the bright and postmodern Cangham area and the simpler, quieter Kargan lands. It’s also the undisputed capital of rugby in Overthinkers. Group C matches will be held here and in the Cargan Valley, as well as knockout matches. Roller Field, Hestmere Roller Field is the home of the highly popular Hestmere Thunder professional team and renowned as Overthinkers’ loudest stadium. It is the largest and highest-value stadium in Overthinkers to be fully community-funded (i.e., without major corporate sponsorship). A fully outdoor stadium, it has a capacity of 63,000. Roller will host knockout matches all the way through the semifinal and the third place match. Valley Dome Arena, Cargan Nestled in agrarian Cargan Valley, the Dome has hosted some of the most intense, brutal battles in the history of Overthinking sport. And there were some pretty good matches on the pitch, too. Expect full contact from all 48,000 spectators. Site C - Aurum Aurum is the political capital of Overthinkers and boasts some of its most iconic architecture. The historic Port District is now a sprawling hub of retail activity, and the Administrative District also exists. Occida, located just to the west, features some of the most upscale neighborhoods in the country. This region will host Group B matches. Glace Field, Occida A short ride from Aurum, Glace Field is another high-end stadium, reflective of the sustained prosperity of Occida. It serves as a key cultural and entertainment venue as much as for sport. It has a capacity of 46,500. Garner Swoop Stadium, “The Eyrie”, Aurum Garner Swoop Stadium is part of the National University at Aurum campus and adjacent to the historic Administration District. One of the smaller facilities in this packet at 38,000 capacity, its proximity to the heart of modern Overthinking culture nonetheless makes it a must-see venue Site D - Anders Anders is the “last stop on the right” for travelers by land or sea. Originally a hub for regional farmers, the expansion of commercial rail developed it into a significant commercial crossroads where inland and southern trade meet en route to the port of Exvia. Group D matches will be played in this region, as well as some knockout matches. Liegen Star Stadium, Anders This stadium with 53,000 capacity is located a stone’s throw from the Barrett-Maxwell International Highway (“the Barry”), the gateway between Overthinkers and southern Andolia. Liegen is the home field of the Anders Comets TRY RL club. Liegen will host Round of 16 and quarterfinal matches. Welker Stadium, Anders Local legend has it that cheese magnate Joseph Welker had this stadium built on his land so that he didn’t have to travel to see a rugby match. Regardless, the Welker estate has kept the facility in top shape, and it’s a popular site for regional tournaments. Welker has a capacity of 41,000. I have a free day. What else should I see? If your team has a rest day, or you’re a Doll Guldur team eliminated in group play, there are a number of attractions that make for great day trips during your stay. If you’re interested in architecture and modern geopolitics, check out Aurum’s Administrative District. Many fine historical government buildings that line Gore Avenue date back to the 1200s and the rise of the Mercantile Era. Most have been turned into museums and are no longer in government use because it’s easier to get funding for a brand new building than a new air conditioner. If you have a revolutionary streak and enjoy three-hour train rides, leave your wallet at home and visit the iconic walled commune of Brunnes, the Unbreakable City. From when a small faction split from the Ethaertin nation to the height of the Koard hegemony, Brunnes has always been resolutely different. If you’re more leisurely minded, consider the high class culture of Main Street Occida, or hop a boat and sail along the Inner Sirenas off the coast. Experience the cutting edge of technology firsthand by visiting some of Cangham’s industrial innovators. Endoras Industries, GarreTech, and Large Box Inc. are just a few businesses offering group facility tours for inquiring minds. The RWC happens to coincide with the annual Wine and Cheese Festival in Ligon. The most prestigious vineyards and dairy operations in eastern Andolia fill the Arbor Forum for four days to peddle their wares and compete for culinary recognition. Suggested itineraries for all these trips and more can be found free online at visit.ot/RWC5. Pixel3K, Federation of Inner Ryxtylopia, Zoran and 8 others 11

Federation of Inner Ryxtylopia Posted June 19 Posted June 19 The Ryxtylopian Rugby Association Asoxicion di Rugby di Ryxtylopia The Ryxtylopian Rugby Association, commonly reffered to as the A-R-R is the sporting body which manages the ryxtylopian national team as well as partly-responsable for overseeing games within the ryxtylopian rugby league. The (Short) History of the ARR Under coach Andreís Tivarra the ARR made history for Ryxtylopia during its debut in RWC4, when the team travelled to Dalimbar to debut for the Rugby World Cup. Despite arriving with an inexperienced squad made from players which competed in the uncompetitive ryxtylopian rugby league, the team performed decently during the group stages, acheiving 3 wins and 3 losses, tying with Kalmach on points, but having a better PD, passing as third in the group to match Ostronia in the round of 16. In the round of 16, the ARR achieved the victory over Ostronia 29-10 to then be matched against the Zoranians; the champions of RWC2 and RWC3 for the quarterfinals. Despite being outmatched in tactics, the young players of the ARR achieved the victory in an incredibly intense game; winning 31-25, knocking out the defending champions and opening the way to the Semi-Finals where they faced United Adaikes, a team they had faced in the group stages. This time, there would be no magic from the ARR in the semi-finals, as they lost 3-5 in a very intense game that saw a lot of back and forth, but despite this, they were able to move on to the bronze medal match, their rival for said match would be the cambrians, another team with a lot of experience from previous editions of the tournament. But despite this fact, the players of the ARR won the match 27-24 taking home the bronze, and concluding a succesful debut in RWC4. The ARR in the 5th Rugby World Cup For this edition of the tournament, now having much more experience the ARR will be playing mostly with the same squad as they did in the previous RWC, as well as this Tivarra makes a return as coach of the team, and team spirits are high, as despite being young, and still lacking experience in some areas, the team players have shown they're good at rugby and can hold their own against tougher opponents. The goal for this edition of the tournament is to try to outperform the debut, which means reaching the final and potentially winning the tournament, this wont be an easy task, but it will be easier to accomplish compared to when the team was just making their debut in the tournament, considering Ryxtylopia currently sits 3rd in the rugby rankings, only behind United Adaikes and defending champions: Dalimbar. Team Roster and Information: Nicknames: Il Piraita - "The Pirate" This nickname originates from the initialism of the Ryxtlopian Rugby Association, since the A-R-R when said togheter sounds like an "Arr!" and the fans noticing the similarity between the initials of the ARR and the stereotypical pirate expression "Yarr!" adopted this as one of the nicknames of the team. (Yes, its a play on words) Los di Amairillio í Verdí - "The Yellow and Greens" A nickname making reference to the two main colors used by the ARR, Yellow and Green.

It is easy to become a young prospect in Ryxtylopia, however unlocking someone's true potential is where Ryxtylopia struggles in comparison to other nations, as the ryxtylopian rugby league is dominated by two teams: Chacas and Trichanacó, which have consitantly been winning titles since the 1390's. This means that players playing outside of theese two clubs are limited in their opportunities, and usually dont break out into the international scene, whilst the two big teams try to give finantial incentives to their players to keep playing for them leading to few players leaving the ryxtylopian league. The national team has a lot of players with good physical abilities and skills, sometimes even better than those in developed countries, however something the national team has lacked at times (apart from experience, which was mostly solved in RWC4) is tactical understanding of the sport, and coherent teamwork. This hasn't stopped the team from acheiving success and is currently being worked on, but is still worth giving a look. Something else worth taking a look at are ryxtylopian fans themselves, which in sports like football (soccer), rugby and baseball have earned some pretty notorious reputations for being loud, provocative, and bad loosers, if we go to extremes even ocationally violent. This is due to the culture around sports in Ryxtylopia, it isn't seen as entretainment, the competitiveness between fans from different teams is usually high, a phenomenon which originated in football and baseball but that spread to rugby; its not uncommon to see fans from different teams swear, insult and fight eachother on a regular basis, the culture of loud chants, banners, smoke and pyro, loud musical instruments playing, and the fans jumping in unison has been engrained in most sports in Ryxtylopia. This carries over to when Ryxtylopia has played at the international level, and Ryxtylopian fans have stood out both in the good moments, during key victories, they have stood out in the neutral moments, all chanting when the team isn't performing well, and in the bad moments, during losses keeping toogheter. But they have also stood out in other ways, like oftenly picking fights before the games, insulting rival teams with chants during the games, and in a recently notorious case: setting fire to their own stadium after being knocked out of the 3rd Football World Cup. They also most of the time remain as collective, and like (or more so need) to be separated from rival fans to avoid any trouble. All that being said, the ARR feels that its ready to take on RWC5 as they prepare to head down to Overthinkers to dispute the tournament, and the fans will follow them wherever they go.

Zoran Posted June 22 Posted June 22 Transcript: Quiyakaso: Hellooooooooooo Zoran! I am Quiyakaso Gohalitsve! Noya: And I am Noya Priscian! Quiyakaso: And we are reporting to you live from Overthinkers inside Merchen Stadium where the Zoranian Sun Hawks are set to play. Noya: This World Cup will be one you don't want to miss as our Sun Hawks are back with a vengeance according to recent statements made by Coach Amadahy Lvaguta on her social media these past few days. Quiyakaso: And they better do well because the amount of paperwork we had to go through in order to record here was a massive headache. It was worse than trying to film in Dalimbar! Noya: I would argue that Dalimbar was worse but I guess it is a matter of perspective. But back to rugby news, Coach Lvaguta has said that the newer members of the team have made some amazing improvements since the last World Cup and have learned a lot from the more experienced and senior players. Quiyakaso: Did they bulk up since then too? Noya: What? Quiyakaso: You know, have they built up more muscle so they can plow through the competition? Noya: I...I am sure they have. But what matters is that they improve their coordination as a team, which is something that Lvaguta said has occurred since Dalimbar. Quiyakaso: What if the team gets a giant and puts them in the center of the field. Noya: A giant? Quiyakaso: Yeah! Like Utana Ganetsi! A giant who will just stomp upon the opposing team! Noya: ...Quiyakaso, Utana Ganetsi is just a story...she isn't real...plus of all the giants you could have chosen, you chose the one who's defining feature is the size of her breasts!? Quiyakaso: Yes because she is the first one that came to mind. And I know she is just a story but...just imagine it! A giant on the Sun Hawks would be awesome! Noya: ...I don't know how your mind gets to these ideas sometimes. Quiyakaso: My creative genius is why I got hired in the first place. It simply cannot be restrained by conventional thought! Noya: ...Okaaaaaaaay...whatever you say, friend. Quiyakaso: We just need to recruit taller people to the team, get them jacked, and then unleash them upon our opponents! What is the average height in Zoran again? Like 172.72 cm (5'8") to 190.50 cm (6'3")? Noya: ...I don't know but that doesn't matter right now, Quiyakaso. We should all be looking forward to how our Sun Hawks will perform during this World Cup and cheer them on during their matches! Quiyakaso: And we should advocate for a team of giants to be made! Noya: ...No...just no. Quiyakaso: Come on, Noya! This is something that needs to happen! Noya: No, no it does not. *sigh* Anyways, that is all from us and we will see you all tomorrow! Quiyakaso: AND SPAM THE SUN HAWKS PLAYERS ABOUT THE GI- Noya: Gohalitsve! Don't make me call your mother and tell her about your antics again! The smile on Quiyakaso's face is quickly replaced with one of terror. Quiyakaso: ...Please don't tell Agitsi. Noya: Then stop encouraging the viewers to harass the team about your crazy scheme. Quiyakaso: ...Ok. Noya: Well then, with that settled. Thank you all for watching and we will see you next time United Adaikes, Ostronia, Dalimbar and 3 others 6
Federation of Inner Ryxtylopia Posted June 22 Posted June 22 The Arrival Cangham International Airport, Cangham, Overthinkers - 1:35 A.M. Overtime (IAT+1) After arriving at the airport, the players of the Ryxtylopian Rugby Association start to board off the plane, greeted by many fans who had already made the trip in advance, the atmosphere wasn't one of partying, as it was pretty late, the flight from Tiarves Dispirva International Airport in Ryxenia had been long, after suffering a delay in takeoff due to poor weather, but after many... many miles the team had made it to Overthinkers, where most after getting out from the plane into the terminal would have probably been caught off guard by the chilly morning weather. The team's bus was already waiting outside, but the players waited inside the terminal while the bags were offloaded from the plane and on to the bus, while that went on, several members of the press made their way in, this didn't yet include members from Ryxtylopia's state-owned television program TVNC, which had covered the sporting event in RWC4, but it did include a lot of reporters notably from CN-4, 7Notixias, Il Faro and AuraTelevixyon, as well as independent journalists. Many of the team players refused interviews for the time being, as they were tired and wanted to get to the hotel, others preferred to take selfies with the fans that had showed up at that hour, while a few did take interviews with the reporters, mainly the team's coach: Andreís Tivarra; who had remained with the national team throught RWC4 and would stay for RWC5. Several reporters approached Tivarra, who was approaching the exit. [7Notixias Reporter]: Coach, Tivarra! What are your goals in this RWC? [Aura Televixyon Reporter]: Will the team be able to hold its own like in the last tournament? [CN-4 Reporter]: What about the matchups? [Tivarra]: Please, one at a time... But starting off with my goals for this Rugby World Cup, well... not my goals but the team's goals, we hope to once again be in a semi-final and win it this time, after that its off to the final, we have the necessary abilities to compete with anyone, just have a few key areas where id like to work on. [CN-4 Reporter]: Like what aspects? [Tivarra]: I feel like coordination betrayed us in that game against UA last year, so that's my main priority for now, depending on our performance in the first match ill assess any other areas of improvement for the team. [Il Faro Reporter]: And how tough do you think the group stage will be? [Tivarra]: Well, currently we're one of the favorite auran teams to win the tournament, i think we'll get through as either 1st or 2nd. As for our rivals we once again cross paths with Zoran, the winners of RWC3, while we did beat them in what i say was one of my most nervous moments they are still a formidable team that should not be underestimated. Our other rival that i somewhat concerns me is Saint Mark, since they also beat their group last RWC. [Tivarra]: Peourouin is another team that passed their group in Dalimbar, but they lost in stunning fashion to the Zoranians, a decent team, but unless we let our guard down they wont pose any threats to knocking us out in the groups. We shared group Arifiyyah in Dalimbar, and they came dead last in the group, but that dissapointing performance may cause them to start restructuring, so ill have to keep an eye on them to see how they progress. [Tivarra]: When it comes to Einherfell, i have no idea what to expect, in Dalimbar they bottomed out their group, but im unsure if they'll go through a restructuring process like i expect to happen with Arifiyyah, so for now they pose no big threat to us. Finally Nouveauterra, one of the debuting teams for this tournament, i dont know what to expect from their players or coach, but their lack of experience in tournaments like this is something i hope to exploit. [Aura Televixyon Reporter]: And what about the players you called up? [Tivarra]: Most of them are the same from the last tournament, only a few changes, since we performed so well and there are few things to smooth out, i didn't see a need to make any major changes. [CN-4 Reporter]: Well, what about the weather conditions here? [Tivarra]: After Dalimbar i thought cold wouldn't be an issue, maybe i was slightly wrong, but we'll get used to it after the first few days, im sure of it. [7Notixias Reporter]: What about teams outside our group that have a shot at winning? [Tivarra]: Well, where to start? Going to start with the hosts: Overthinkers, they also had an amaizing time in RWC4, passing 2nd in their group and making it to the quarters, where they only lost to UA by a point; if they had won that match we would have met them in the semis, but since that wasn't the case ill need to see how well they do and how they measure up to us. Then of course, UA... , so far we're two down against them, but the match against them in the semis last RWC was really close, if we cross them i do have a better idea of how to face them but i would be unsure if we could clench a victory; ill still have them as title contenders. [Tivarra]: I also cannot ignore reigning champions: Dalimbar, i can see them winning another title, their team did amaizingly in their edition of the tournament, but i do not know how not being at home will affect them, nonetheless they shouldn't have a hard time in their group. And since i talked about Dalimbar i might aswell talk about Cambria, since while we did win the race for bronze in RWC4, they did reach the semi final as well as that they can boast about having solid performances in previous RWC's. At this point, the rest of the team was already boarding the bus, when Tivarra noticed he started to wrap up the interviews. [Tivarra]: Well, i thank all of you for your attention, i need to go now, we have a lot of stuff to plan out tomorrow, to hopefully be one of the major contenders to win this edition of the Rugby World Cup. The reporters thank Tivarra before leaving, as he leaves for the bus which would head to the The Elevate Hotel & Resort, where the team would stay for the night. Tivarra probably had a lot in his mind, with his team being more experienced he thought he could relax but now he had extra pressure to perform better than last year, he continued thinking about tactics as he got in the bus with the team headed for the hotel and probably some well earned rest.

There’s just something so exciting about the anticipation leading up to the first matchday that I can say is flowing through everybody on the team. Players also expressed their enthusiasm playing in the tournament, many of them secondary students also chosen to the national team. Post from Xi Hesong on HahHA. "Get ready for Peourouin’s thunderous applause!⚡👏#teamapr #北陆兰第一 " The nation stands just days away from stepping onto the field in Overthinkers and playing Arifiyyah. Arifiyyah is quite a weaker team than Peourouin, however, their team is unknown to the players, having not played each other in the previous tournament.

Nouveau Posted June 22 Posted June 22 Can Weekend Warriors Win A World Cup? 22/6/1424 By Georges Cluney The National Rugby team is making its debut in Overthinkers this month for the Fifth Rugby World Cup. The nation’s league of only 6 teams put up their best players to face some of the most well funded national teams in the world. What is Nouveauterra’s rugby league like? Is there substance behind the national team being sent overseas? And can a band of weekend warriors really put up a fight against some of the toughest men in rugby? The Nouveauterran Rugby League is relatively new, only having had its commissioning in 1401. 6 teams take part in the league: Pointe-d’Espoir, Porta Marius and Fabianus, Gué Metropolitan, Ruisseau Rouge, and Agentum. They’re powered by local sponsors, who often own or subsidize the playing fields, the gear, and even the wages. “Other sports have been more popular, such as futbol, claquer, even only locally played pelta, and they’ve drawn the most crowds,” said Phd. Erol Goededag. He studies the economics of sports at Université Gué. “In sporting communities like this, most players in the league take up supplemental work to get by. As a very dark example, the old boxing league of Nouveauterra had most boxers involved in organized crime before it was reorganized and regulated.” 17 of the 27 national team members are part-time players, with many working odd jobs. To give you a few examples, Tedus Pisca, a halfback, runs his own carpentry business. The team captain and Mr 8, Silvain Flandin, works in the financial sector. Jules Tonguey, the 19-year-old lock on the team, is a full-time player, but he is also studying for a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering. This is just a sampling of the many players on the team. What does this mean for the team? According to some, not much. Most players make it to practice days, even with the split schedules, according to insiders in the national team. The team however can only sport a few veterans because of the low funding, as well as some support staff. The players in the league are roughly as good as the average rugby player in the world, in terms of statistics available online, but as this is their first outing they’re untested. Coach Hanno Verres The greatest wild card might not even be the players, or the team, but coach Hanno Verres. He served as coach for an amateur futbol club based in Pointe-d’Espoir, and a short stint as coach for the professionalized Pointe-d’Espoir rugby club before he was tapped for this role. His quick ascension has a few commentators questioning the rationale of the Rugby Commission. “We have many other professionals,” said sports commentator Peter Van Broek. “Aspis, Hougetteville, Ostesluis… Why Verres is beyond me. I mean we had to hunt down for information about this man up to today. I’m not saying it’s corruption. What I am saying is, it is odd.” For how odd parts of the Nouveauterran Rugby Team may seem, they’re the team we do have. And as General Van Tuteau said long ago, “You fight with the rifle in your hand, not the one in the shed.” Zoran, Ostronia, United Adaikes and 3 others 6
