No update on Sunday games yet

[Bovidae]

Only Sat games are affected then.

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...

[Rapido]

No red cards for NZ this weekend then, Yay.

[voodoo]

so not a big deal for the tournament then so far. Hopefully those are the only 2 games cancelled

[Chris]

Waiting to make a decision on Sunday morning for those games

What fucking crap planning, "we had already decided not to move or postpone matches".

That was their planning, during Typhoon season? Fuck me.

If that's the case, why not just wait?

[gt12]

How can they plan to assess the Japan game on Sunday, but not wait until Saturday for these games?

[gt12]

Japanese reporter now asking that question!

Having a 2 week break is not ideal before a QF.
