You do know that the trains don't run while there's a typhoon belting the place?

Yes.

The typhoon doesn't hit the Tokyo-area until Saturday so plenty of time to get on a high-speed train if there were 100 or so spaces available for the English and French players, their coaches and support staff.

You make it sound like professional logisticians haven't thought about it ffs.

It might be the same guys who have designed the competition structures for Super rugby, NPC and the Ranfurly Shield!

It's all rumours ATM, but really want France and England to smash the crap out of each other!

[barbarian]

Considering the Wallabies are likely to face England, I don't know what is better for us here.

a) Game is cancelled, and England get no meaningful game before the QF bar a win against 14-man Argentina, or

b) A physical game against the French where they might win but also lose a few players to injury.

It probably won't help us much either way, given our clear lack of rugby ability. But still.

Speaking to someone practising Welsh?

A scoreless draw is a bit unimaginative. It is England afterall, surely it should be scored a three all draw as they would certainly have kicked a penalty or a droppie somewhere along the way!

@Higgins don't worry, England will still do a few victory laps 😁

[MiketheSnow]

It saves Eddie from bringing the game in to disrepute and fielding a B team to throw the match and play Wales not Australia in the QF

They should just call the whole damn thing off, such the mockery of a game not being played.

Outrageous!!

If England or France or New Zealand win the cup, it will always be remembered as the "pretend cup" because they missed one game. A travesty!!

There you go, fixed.

Likewise the ABs will still find a way to cynically cheat in their cancelled game v Italy
