USA v Tonga and Wales v Uruguay have both been confirmed as going ahead, despite Canada v Namibia being cancelled. Only our game to confirm one way or another.

 

If you want a good omen, we just beat Japan in curling...

I think that's how it works. Once we battered Russia at rugby it was  a certainty we'd hammer them at football a few days later.  😄

Good to hear your all ok mate.
Been checking weather forecast, seems to be saying that heavy rain will continue for next 12 hrs in Tokyo. If that's true and stadium is already flooded, not sure game will go ahead...

There is a statement written already which starts with the word 'Despite' ready for release in a few hours.

TBF it sounds horrendous going by the reports coming out and sport is well down the list of priorities.

Despite our best efforts to f**k Scotland over, it's actually not too bad, so we'll leave it to the traditional method of getting Japan's rugby team to put Scotland out....?

It's as if we now have to apologise that the game is on. f**k world rugby, f**k fat Bill Beaumont

Have a bit of perspective guys, very early reports say 4 dead, 17 missing and hundreds injured. The typhoon has affected over a dozen Prefectures, with one region having 16 of its rivers flooded. Add to that, the structural damage with bridges, buildings and electricity down it's a testament to the Japanese people that the game hasn't been cancelled already.

France? They are happy as pigs in muck. They get Wales and an extra weeks rest

Indeed. As of yet none of the “big” teams have been disadvantaged by this. If our game can’t go ahead as scheduled then it won’t be played at all. A delayed fixture would open a huge avenue for an Italian legal challenge. Hopefully we get the chance to play and see where it takes us.

Home from Scotstoun. Up at 6:45am for USA v Tonga though.

After 2 defeats just winning was crucial. Great for the 1st 20mins then got caught in a slog. We were dozy but found a way to win ugly which is the main thing and perhaps a sign of a good team.

Was the TMO off for a whiz when Jacko got decked by a forearm despite the screen showing it numerous times? The ref didn't seem interested either...

The "big" teams are a little disadvantaged by this. As if any of the knockout games can't be played the winner is decided by the team that got the most points in the group stages.
