[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 966330, member: 45598"] Yeah, the bid was confirmed in June 2009. Starting the pool games three or four days earlier allowing for contingency days with a stadiums on standby (not even big ones, literally enough for a match and camera crew) is burdensome sure but this is the one of the biggest sporting spectacles of the year, and now it's been irreversibly compromised as a fair and equal competition regardless of whether Japan v Scotland goes ahead, which I'm fairly doubtful of. The headlines that stick out so far to someone who knows little of the sport are "World Rugby criticise refereeing", "World rugby stand down referee, Angus Gardner" and now "Games called off because of typhoons". Japan beating Ireland and the like wouldn't register for your average person ahead of this and it's massively embarrassing. [/QUOTE]
