WEATHER UPDATE FOR FRANCE V USA MATCH
World Rugby and the Japan Rugby 2019 Organising Committee have confirmed that the France v USA match will be played in Fukuoka on 2 October at 16:45 JST as scheduled. The decision has been taken following consultation with our weather information experts and the Japan Meteorological Agency, which confirms that Typhoon Mitag is lessening in strength, tracking further westward away from Japan’s coastline and therefore will not impact the match. The decision was taken with the full support of the host city Fukuoka and the two teams. Our primary objective is to always enable a match to be played as scheduled in the best interest of teams, fans and the integrity of the tournament. In line with robust tournament contingency plans, had the match not been able to be played at Fukuoka, an alternative venue would have been used. While there is every indication that Typhoon Mitag will reduce in strength and have little or no impact on the tournament, we will continue to closely monitor the situation in partnership with our weather information experts, local authorities, transport providers and the teams, and will provide further updates as required. Fans are advised to monitor official Rugby World Cup channels for any updates.

USA, USA, USA!
I don't trust the French.
You are just carrying way too many scars there Snowy!
I think USA will put up a decent show but the Froggies will be too strong. I don't expect another Japanese-type shock result.(he says tempting fate)

but if there is one big team to lose to a really ordinary side, it's the Frogs. No one does "disinterested off day" like the Frogs.

Ah, the old reverse, reverse jinx. Very clever.
And yes the scar tissue is still there, having been at both of them live. I think the damage is irreparable. Why the hell couldn't they put up a white flag like they do with the Germans?

France were well beaten by the Germans in 1940 but most of the other wars between the two countries led to French victories.
Not to be too pedantic (and he goes on to be pedantic anyway) I don't think the French can really claim a victory in WW1 either.
And while Napoleon initially had a merry old time in Europe, he ultimately got whipped at Waterloo by a combined English and PRUSSIAN army too

Good rugby from the US there
Just a bit of Rugby instinct and they'll be a top tier side in no time. They've got the physical specimens
You stay tackled when they get you.
