This really is shithouse ,

With all the negativity surrounding the officiating/ cards etc ,

It didn’t need this on top,

Gee you got to feel for Scotland, particularly with what happened at the last WC

Game has to be played somewhere. Make it indoors and no crowd if necessary.

Sat night is looking like a good night in front of the tv,

Nz v Italy,
Eng v France ,
Ireland v Samoa

That’s probably as good as you could hope for in pool play

jinxed it.

Rumours on twitter everything pushed back one day. Saturday to Sunday, Sunday to Monday.

No mention yet what this would do to the team naming.

edit: source Spark Sport producer retweeted by Sumo - so reasonable source.

Rob likes this rumour!

Surely $'s should win out here and surely most of that is TV revenue.

Just move the team, their management and film crew to a new stadium. Surely there must be some available, don't even worry about the fans, that ship has sailed. If I had flown over to Japan for a match the one thing that could cheer me up slightly would be still being able to watch that match at the local irish pub knowing that my ticket refund would at least cover the beers for the night.

No update on Sunday games yet

[Bovidae]

Only Sat games are affected then.

[gt12]

Bullshit.

What crap planning - if they aren't going to move the games, just wait until 12 hours out or less to cancel.

Most ppl who have traveled are already here. What the fuck do they do?

Such a shame, from what I have read/heard Japan has really embraced the RWC and audience/viewer numbers are through the roof which on one hand shows they needed to award the hosting rights to Japan, but during Typhoon season...
