The American decision has been made. And the nightmare Afghans feared is unfolding before our eyes. We cannot abandon a people that have searched forty years for peace. Afghan women must not be made to languish again behind locked doors & pulled curtains. #PrayforAfghanistan

@Thomas_Wheelock Intriguing ... but then again, covid have a pretty long period until first symptoms so there's a chance they come with it from Russia. Also a Spanish sabotage operation is a possibility ;)

[Dropgol Blog @MisterXVBlog]

@Thomas_Wheelock we are talking about Russia, how they can be in camp in Spain for so long? what if somebody spy them? ;)

Is commendable that @RugbyRomania and @RugbyRussia took initiative to fill the November test window since @WorldRugby didn't bother to help unions outside 6N dealing with covid-19 crisis.

What is wrong with Georgian Rugby Union? They seem so solid, yet there seem to be a lot of political issues going on there. https://t.co/5D6k2VNmac

What if @rugby_europe had managed to finally convince 6N to merge women and U20 competitions in exchange for the vote for Beaumont? 🤔

[Dropgol Blog @MisterXVBlog]

Life is strange, Spain voted for Beaumont, @RugbyRomania voted for @AP9_ 😎https://t.co/OEapJbOkDf

[Dropgol Blog @MisterXVBlog]

Took too much to NZ Rugby to realize this. Also some analysis of their favorite candidate is needed, Sunwolves were kicked out from SR to make space for Pichot's business associates. https://t.co/iK8HuVeyNk

Viel dank @DRVRugby for promptly clarifying this matter which was snowballed last days against @rugby_europe . CC: @ignaciochans @FermindelaCalle @raysrugby

[Dropgol Blog @MisterXVBlog]

@ignaciochans @rugby_europe @DRVRugby I don't pretend I am journalist. I've no interest in continue the topic, it was rather a signal to @rugby_europe to respond to the false accusations of @DRVRugby and to you to stop using different measures and look into Asia Rugby president corruption allegations, not only Fijian

[Dropgol Blog @MisterXVBlog]

Pichot's cronies stir up the pot but conveniently ignore the fact that @rugby_europe debated who will support prior to April meeting when simply asked to confirm. @DRVRugby knew before and did not raised concerns. https://t.co/gCaFOxKfYG

[Ignacio Chans @ignaciochans]

La federación alemana de rugby denuncia que @rugby_europe definió su voto a Beaumont el 8 de abril, cuando Pichot presentó su candidatura el 13. Fue al final de una reunión de Comité Ejecutivo en el que el tema no estaba en el orden del día

[Dropgol Blog @MisterXVBlog]

What these "supporters of project" (@ignaciochans , @FermindelaCalle , @raysrugby fail to look into completely are corruption allegations over one of Pichot's top supporters, Qais A. Al Dhalai (Rugby Asia's president) https://t.co/p9W9BJg9yE

No matter who wins there will be replaced by a lot of whining and criticism from people concerned about "projects".

@rugbyandthelaw Indeed, but he is in a position that might send him to the Council one day
