[QUOTE="OwenPB, post: 966546, member: 81366"] Don't teams go into the competition knowing the modalities of situations like this? I mean, it was discussed about 2 weeks ago and nothing much was said. Legally, what basis does Scotland have to actually force the game to be played? And, should Scotland win the legal fight and oblige the game to be played, where does that leave the 2 other games? Surely it can't be a pick-and-mix of what matches they make an effort to reschedule and what matches just get dropped. Every one of the matches has something on the line: Italy can mathematically eliminate New Zealand, France V England decides who tops a pool and both have implications on fitness, injuries and potential discipline issues all of which directly effect those teams and their potential QF opponents. Surely if Scotland force the match to go ahead, Italy do the same? [/QUOTE]
