[@whooshkaboomie]

Ben Ryan speaks good English for a Fijian.

[@oogalieboogalieboo]

I love this - the opening theme is actually great!

[@MRRBOKK]

One touch a massive in the islands, and has spread to NZ you can randomly join in if you see people playing.

[@rogerarnold6248]

Awesome interview

[@cillianlyons8398]

Could they not have given Jim a taller chair? He looks like he's back in school.

[@frenchgreguk]

Someone gave this interview a thumb down. Wtf was that for? Good honest talk about a country being awesome and yet shafted by their counterparts....

[@mataicakau237]

Probably the Fiji Prime minister lol

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

I find complaining about caterpillar rucks and box kicks to be absolutely boring. I’ll choose the caterpillar rucks and box kicks any day over hearing people complain about them.

[@frenchgreguk]

If your comments are a projection of your personality, I can only assume that you are boring. Sorry mate.

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

@@frenchgreguk 😂 assume away 😂

[@FRU.No.1]

Ben and Jim > Ben and Jerrys

Jonah Lomu was born in New Zealand, do your research

[@theflaver]

Jonah was born in New Zealand.

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

It’s a human right to be able to change your nationality.

[@theflaver]

@@MichaeldeSousaCruz well yes it is Michael. Jonah was born in New Zealand, as I noted, and was a New Zealander by nationality and Tongan by descent. He was never a Tongan by nationality I don't believe. You've confused nationality with descent. So what is your point?

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

@@theflaver nope no confusion on my part at all. If Jonah wanted to become a citizen of another country say Tonga he has every right to. And if he wished to have represented Tonga in international rugby after representing NZ then WR would have violated his human rights by denying him that.

[@theflaver]

@@MichaeldeSousaCruz IF... it didn't happen did it... but he sure had that right to do so... even if it was against the rules of the game to then play for Tonga. I do believe that if an athlete plays only a few international games, some low number, for one country that they should be able to move to another county that they have some familial relationship to.

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

@@theflaver yes IF 😂 when we are talking about Jonah... now at present, many Pacific Island rugby players are looking to have WR honor their human rights and allow them to play for the nation they choose.

[@Chris-jt4ux]

Would've been great if you could've asked Ben about that time he bankrupted a former championship club that now languishes in the 7th league

[@sleepandwatergroup7973]

Chris - how have you worked that one out????? After I left the club (having been below budget every year) - the team remained in the championship for another two years. I was very proud of our achievements with my time at the club.
