In the past dozen years or so, America has lost something.
A tectonic shift from pride in the good created and punctuated by this nation, to the accentuation of all the people that we have been accused of wronging.

Beauden Barrett of the Suntory Sungoliath tiptoes clear of the defence once again.
Beauden Barrett’s Suntory Sungoliath are alone with a perfect record in the 16-team Japan Top League, after the All Blacks first five-eighth rescued his side in the final moments for the second week running. On the same day his Super Rugby side the Blues toppled his old team the Hurricanes, Barrett lived up to his star billing again as Suntory beat Ryan Crotty’s Kubota Spears 33-26. Suntory appeared to be cruising when they led 26-7 with less than half-an-hour to play before Kubota mounted a brave fightback, with their wrecking ball Tongan loose forward Finau Tupa finishing with three tries as the 2019 finalists levelled the game.

Players can switch their international allegiance by participating in Olympic sevens qualifying events, provided they have a passport for a second country and have completed a stand down period of at least three three years.
Tamanivalu moved to New Zealand as a teenager to attend Saint Kentigern College, before going on to represent the Chiefs and Crusaders in Super Rugby.
Tamanivalu played three tests for the All Blacks in 2016 but said he would love the chance to represent his Fijian heritage. I think I still have a lot to offer for the Fiji team as well if I m (selected). I m still young, I m only 29, and I think I can still play test rugby, he said.
