Scotland's rugby authorities are claiming that they have a legal case to have their game played on Monday.

Scotland's rugby authorities want to take their heads out of their arses and grow up.

It apparently is the end of the typhoon season and this is an unexpected and huge weather event.
If it is not safe,feasible or whatever then the games cant go ahead ,each team gets 2 points.That's the rules.
I would be worried about life and destruction rather than a sporting event.

I used to live in Japan in the 70s and know how strong and resilient they are. A wonderful country, a wonderful people.

I know it's a small thing in comparison but I'm casting it to the TV. I've had to sit through 15 mins of adverts before I actually get to the game. Dear god ITV. And now I seem to be watching USA v Tonga and not Japan.... oh dear god. I thought this was the live game! I'm going to have to sit through loads more ads! Argghhhhh!
Only I won't. Cos now it's telling me it can't cast it from my tablet. Oh ffs.

HT: Japan 21-7 Scotland - Japan had 74% possession and 75% of the rugby has been played in the Scotland half.
And, at the beginning of the second half, the Japanese have scored another try. Japan 28-7 Scotland
Final Score: Japan 28-21 Scotland
Not much to say, really. Japan were the better team, and up to number 7 in the world, ahead of France, Scotland, Argentina and Italy, all Tier 1 nations. The question is now, what do Japan do to go forward? They are not really near any of the other Tier 1 nations.

After Canada's final game of the Rugby World Cup was cancelled due to the damage caused by Typhoon Hagibis, the players took to the streets to lend a helping hand in the clean-up operation. The Canada players were seen shovelling mud, carrying furniture and debris after the storm passed through on Sunday. Typhoon Hagibis has left at least 23 people dead and cut power to almost half a million homes across the country

How Scotland very badly misread the situation in Japan: Note: This is just part of the article. The whole article is really worth the read at the link below; it gives you a better understanding of things. And it was the Japanese who decided that the game should be played.Officials slept in the stadium on Saturday night, while the typhoon blew outside, so they could start assessing the damage the minute it stopped. At dawn the repair crews came in, and started pumping the floodwater out of the dressing room, where it was an inch deep, while the fire-service triple-checked all the electrics. Later they hosed down the pitch, to clear off the mud and debris. Meanwhile the organising committee were coordinating with the government and regional authorities, with all three emergency services, the water authorities, the road authorities, the train and bus companies, trying to untangle a cat’s cradle of complications. In Japan all the talk has been about how this World Cup is about omotenashi, Japanese hospitality. The word doesn’t exactly translate, but, in the sketchy understanding I have of it after four weeks here, it’s about doing more than your very best to please your guest. But this was several steps further again, well beyond what anyone could have expected. Which might be why so many people got it all so wrong in the days before the match. Why they imagined that Japan wanted to have this match cancelled, that they would rather have been awarded the draw than face the Scots, a team against whom they had only ever lost. They even suggested it was all part of some grand conspiracy to hobble the Scots. The chief executive of the Scottish Rugby Union, Mark Dodson, got it all wrong too. Dodson let fly about how the SRU had taken legal advice, raged how he wasn’t going to let his team be “collateral damage”. It was an embarrassingly wild misreading of what’s been going on here, of the mood among the Japanese, and how determined they were to play, and to win, this game. Japan show world their defiance and skill in face of typhoon destruction

I think the Scottish RFU owe the Japanese a very big apology for their behaviour.

I totally agree. They should apologise and resign, Gregor Townsend, included. The Canadians went out into their host city and helped with the cleanup operations, Scottish players should think of doing the same; they have nothing better to do at the moment.
