Yes! Uzbekistan do have a rugby team! They havent been around for a long time, and have not yet gained an entry into the IRB world ranking, so is the case with so many other new starter in rugby such as Indonesia, and Brunei.

Kazakhstan has stable relationships with all of its neighbors and is a member of the United Nations, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council and Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) . It also is an active participant in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation's (NATO) Partnership for Peace program. Kazakhstan is also a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States , Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization along with Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan established the Eurasian Economic Community in 2000 to re-energize earlier efforts at harmonizing trade tariffs and the creation of a free trade zone under a customs union.\n\nSince independence in 1991, Kazakhstan has pursued what is known as the multidimensional foreign policy (многовекторная внешняя политика), seeking equally good relations with two large neighbors, Russia and China, and the United States and the West generally. The policy has yielded results in the oil and gas sector, where companies from the U.S., Russia, China, and Europe are present at all major fields, and in the multidimensional directions of oil export pipelines out of Kazakhstan.\n\nKazakhstan possesses the Soviet equivalent to the United States' Cape Canaveral, where the Soviet Union launched its version of the space shuttle and the well-known space station Mir. Russia currently leases approximately 6,000 km² of territory enclosing the Baikonur Cosmodrome space launch site in south central Kazakhstan.

The Pumas are one of the form rugby teams at the moment.  I think on present form they would just about smoke any international team bar the All Blacks.  I would love to see every player in the Argentinian team playing professionally and the infrastructure to support them.  Go the Pumas!

I don't know. \n\nI have never understood this either.\n\nEngland, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have their own teams, as you say, for the WC & Euro cup for football & rugby, but when it comes to the Olympics we are Great Britain.

There are three teams that have not taken part in any World Cup between 1930 and 1954 but have played in 1958: Northern Ireland, Wales and the USSR.\n\nThe USSR have reached the Semi-finals in 1966 - which was beyond the second round (the Quarter-finals), so we can rule them out.\n\nNorthern Ireland reached the Quarter-finals (the second round) in 1958, the second group stage (the second round) in 1982 and did not progress from group stage in 1986.\n\nWales has only taken part in the 1958 World Cup, and reached the second round - the Quarter-finals.

On May 13, 2005, Uzbek government forces killed hundreds of unarmed people who participated in a massive public protest in the eastern Uzbek city of Andijan. The scale of this killing was so extensive, and its nature was so indiscriminate and disproportionate, that it can best be described as a massacre.\n\nThe government has denied all responsibility for the killings. It claims the death toll was 173 people— law enforcement officials and civilians killed by the attackers, along with the attackers themselves. The government says the attackers were “Islamic extremists,” who initiated “disturbances” in the city. Uzbek authorities did everything to hide the truth behind the massacre and have tried to block any independent inquiry into the events.\n\nA Human Rights Watch field investigation in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan recreated a comprehensive account of the events of May 13 and 14 in Andijan, presented in this report. Our findings clearly demonstrate the Uzbek government forces’ undeniable responsibility for the massacre.\nThe May 13 killings began when thousands of people participated in a rare, massive protest on Bobur Square in Andijan, voicing their anger about growing poverty and government repression. The protest was sparked by the freeing from jail of twenty-three businessmen who were being tried for “religious fundamentalism.” These charges were widely perceived as unfair, and had prompted hundreds of people to peacefully protest the trial in the weeks prior to May 13.\n\nAfter troops sealed off the area surrounding the square, they continued to fire from various directions as the protesters attempted to flee. One group of fleeing protesters was literally mowed down by government gunfire. The presence of gunmen in the crowd, and even the possibility that they may have fired at or returned fire from government forces, cannot possibly justify this wanton slaughter.\n\nHuman Rights Watch interviewed more than fifty people in a refugee camp in neighboring Kyrgyzstan and in Andijan itself who participated in the demonstrations and witnessed the violence, marking the most comprehensive research into the events done so far by any nongovernmental or media organization.\n\nThe government sought to justify its acts by casting the events in the context of terrorism, and has claimed that all of the dead were killed by the gunmen, and has stated that the organizers of the protest were Islamic “fanatics and militants” who sought to overthrow the government and establish an Islamic state. This is unsurprising. For nearly a decade, the Uzbek government has cast nearly all of its domestic critics as “terrorists,” “extremists,” and “Islamic fundamentalists.” The government has faced serious incidents of terrorism and insurrection, but it has also used threats of terrorism to justify essentially banning nearly all political opposition, religious or secular. Human Rights Watch research found no evidence that the protesters or the gunmen had an Islamist agenda. Interviews with numerous people present at the demonstrations consistently revealed that the protesters spoke about economic conditions in Andijan, government repression, and unfair trials—and not the creation of an Islamic state.The Uzbek government has launched a criminal investigation into the events in Andijan, but there is no indication that it will include an examination of government forces’ use of lethal force against unarmed people.\n\nThe Uzbek parliament has created an independent commission of inquiry into the Andijan events whose mandate includes “a thorough analysis of the actions of government and [law enforcement, security and military structures, and a legal assessment.\n\ncc

For other dude: :SCO is abbreviation of Shanghai Cooperation Organization. It is an intergovernmental organization which was founded on June 14, 2001 by leaders of the People's Republic of China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.\nMongolia became the first country to receive observer status at the 2004 Tashkent Summit. Pakistan, India and Iran received observer status at the 2005 SCO summit in Astana, Kazakhstan on July 5, 2005. All four nations have applied for full membership to the organization\n\nAlthough Russia and China have a lot of disagreement in policies with NATO especially US, I don't believe there will be a direct conflict between them. Dispute their disagreement, US still need them for negotiation with North Korea. Isolated in economic world also not possible, at least for some period, due to China's economic and export  development. You can see it from the deficit trade of China compare with their US counterpart. These force them to buy some Boeing airplane from US, but they just try to solve the problem diplomatically.\n\nAs long as both parties don't make "harm" each other (which I pessimistically foresee it) they will still be a good counterpart.\nYet, I can't predict what will be US next policies for Iran (other SCO observer state).

Because of the way rugby is played in Ireland, NI is included - therefore, the Irish national anthem is not known by the majority of Ulster men (as God save the queen is their anthem), so the IRFU asked for a rugby anthem to be created.

Ha! Not much chance of that mate. I'm sure people play it here, but you'll have to get your gear ordered in from overseas. And finding a team will be really difficult. Try rugby. Or League. Heaps of people play it, and it's easy to find a team and gear.
