@jegga Which was worse the Welsh cheating the Originals of their Grand Slam in 1905 by moving the ball over the line after Bob Deans scored or the Scots denying the 1924-5 Invincibles their Grand Slam by refusing to play them?
i wasn't there but the Scots were the more pathetic of the two imho.

At least the Welsh fronted up on the field. It's only cheating if you get caught right?

I still haven't forgiven the Welsh for that. My mum used to tell me that particular bit of history from day 1. As for the Scots, that little piece regarding the gate takings and the follow on on the 1924 tour continues to resonate in my disdain for Scottish administrators, be it for sport or finance.

Want the scots to win for obvious reasons ,
But I would much rather support Japan , and not just because of the dramas,
Japan have been one of the few highlights of pool play so far for me , have enjoyed their approach to the game

If it's really wet then that will favour the Scots who will be doing everything they can to slow the game down

Won't be raining. Cyclone's gone.
Will be a beautiful day weatherwise. Prob ably quite humid though.
It'll just be what damage lingers. Damage to stadium, damage to surrounding infrastructure, whether the flooding around the stadium prevents it's use etc.

We need to cross live to our Japanese correspondent @gt12 for the latest updates on weather and damage from the Typhoon.

Seriously after this I hope Scottish rugby whithers up completely, this sort of whining surpasses even the Irish .
-
We havent had confirmation from here yet, they were inspecting the facilities.
The Tsurumi river is back to orange (2nd of three stages) so shouldn’t need to be let out over the flood plains around the stadium, which is a good sign.
Most private (ie, not JR) trains are also running and JR will start later.
My bet is that it’s on, but if they have something badly damaged at the stadium, then....

World rugby have announced that their contingency plan for the Japan Scotland game was to move the game 500 miles north to another stadium.
However Typhoon hagibis is over 600miles in diameter.Scottish Rugby have just announced that they would walk 500 more....
