DBWI: Challange: A military coup postponed because of rugby

Your challange is to have the timing of a military coup change because a rugby game. Bonus points if the coup is made by someone with a funny name like General Bananarama.

Bainiarama is a fijian name, but Fiji belongs to US.

This is impossible I´d think. Although, admittably, if a US general would try a military coup, he´d probably not do it at the same time as superbowl.

Pardon? While it might be on its way out of the commonwealth after the latest coup it’s not a US protectorate.

Berra, let's not get completely silly here.

Even some miserable Third World island nation couldn't go through...what was that, Leo?

OOC: I wanted Grimm Reapers response. It IS silly but it did happen. I was making a point about crazy things happening and the fact that its hard predicting them.
