So many adverts. Then, after they finish, it just freezes for me.

Do they really need to put audio adverts for Gillette over parts of the programme? I know the answer -- no -- so why?

I'm just watching the full game. 24 mins into it and the Japanese have the ball in hand and are about to peg it up the field to score and ...... 4 adverts.... WTF? And then it goes straight back to the Japanese with ball in hand about to peg it up the field to score. Which they do.
WTF ITV?

I'm wondering if it's a mistake cos it's not something they usually do. You get loads before and after and duing half-time but the game is normally sacrosanct.

I recently contact ITV Hub because suddenly it was saying I was going to have ads through things like Morse. I was told how to reset my account and all now all is well. It might be worth contacting them about this.

I think I will. They can't have done it on purpose cos it will get them really bad publicity.

The Scottish Rugby Union have been referred to a disputes committee over their comments about the potential cancellation of their World Cup clash against Japan, organizers said on Tuesday. The scratching of Sunday's match in Yokohama due to Typhoon Hagibis would have eliminated the Scots from the tournament and SRU chief Mark Dodson earlier threatened legal action to enforce a postponement. Dodson had also said organizers would have taken action to ensure the match went ahead if it had involved world champions New Zealand, comments which could lead to a charge of bringing the game into disrepute.
"Under our tournament rules, we're very careful that people behave appropriately and as a result of that we've referred to independent disputes committee the behaviour and comments of the Scottish Rugby Union," tournament director Alan Gilpin told a news conference.

As a Scot, I struggled with the way in which the SRU reacted to what was going on. The situation was very difficult for the organisers. It was not just a matter of where the games could be played, but how they could have got there; except, it ended up that it wasn't necessary because the stadium where the game was played was actually designed for such circumstances. Also they didn't understand that the Japanese wanted the game to be played, as a matter of honour.

The SRU are not coming out of this very well - last I heard 72 people were dead and they were bumping their gums about the possible cancellation. As a Scot I think they need to issue an apology to the Japanese and withdraw their allegation that Scotland were being treated differently than for example New Zealand.

Scottish Rugby is digging holes. Scottish Rugby has questioned whether a misconduct charge from World Rugby is "appropriate". Comments made by chief executive Mark Dodson about the potential cancellation of the World Cup match with Japan have been referred to an independent disputes committee. Dodson had hinted at legal action, when the match was in doubt because of Typhoon Hagibis. A Scottish Rugby spokesperson said: "Scottish Rugby once again expresses its sincere condolences to the people of Japan and all those affected by Typhoon Hagibis which struck last weekend. "We have been able to convey our best wishes directly to the mayor of Yokohama and the chairman of the Japanese Rugby Union. We stand with the great people of Japan. Following receipt of correspondence yesterday from World Rugby, Scottish Rugby confirms that it has received a notice of complaint from Rugby World Cup Ltd. Scottish Rugby is querying whether the matter is an appropriate one for the bringing of misconduct charges. If misconduct proceedings are to proceed, Scottish Rugby looks forward to receiving a fair hearing in this matter. No further comment would be appropriate at this time."

World Rugby statement:
"We were very clear with everyone before the tournament about the detailed contingency plans in place but also tournament rules about how contingency plans could be implemented. Tournament rules for Rugby World Cup specify that for the pool phase any match not completed on the day scheduled will be not moved to a different day. This is clear in the tournament rules and not new at Rugby World Cup 2019. Those contingency plans were in place, including back-up venues. But the rules do not allow for postponements to be affected in pool matches.
"What became clear was the incredible size of the typhoon, with it being 1400km wide only three match venues were outside of the typhoon's path. We were not able to implement contingency plans that would treat all matches and teams consistently and fairly. We would only vary those rules if we could treat all teams consistently and fairly. But we couldn't. So that led to the difficult decision to cancel two matches on Saturday. We did have contingency venue plans for the other three matches on the Sunday, but they were always dependent on damaged caused by the typhoon.
"Pleasingly of course we played those three matches as scheduled. We were consistent with everything laid out before the tournament. While we had appropriate discussions with a number of unions, no decisions were based on pressure from any particular unions. And it's also important to clarify that we did not have those discussions with Ireland."

You'd think Scotland Rugby would just be glad their team survived the typhoon unscathed. Had they won their previous games and been at the top of the table the 2 points on offer for a cancelled game would have been gratefully received as it was - well you saw it.
That said holding the tournament in Japan during typhoon season was perhaps a mistake but nobody could have predicted that the worst typhoon in 50 years would strike that particular weekend. Most of the typhoons they get are nothing like this.
It is possible to build in contingency plans for secondary locations in the first round games, this would have to be agreed by all Unions, but it would add potentially an extra week to the tournament and fans that had tickets for the final, for instance, might find that it would being held 6 days later in a different location and that is not acceptable.
