Just in: New Zealand 58 - Namibia 14
When I was young and enthusiastic I watched a game in Namibia. The field was rock hard and in the tackles you'd hear a "crump" and see a cloud of dust, just like Wile E. Coyote hitting the dirt. Those dudes can tackle! Actually this is a great result for a nation with a playing population of about a thousand.
Meanwhile the USA, disappointed at its result against Samoa last weekend (

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
