[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 966966, member: 73592"] Have you thought that maybe, just maybe, the teams could be staying in the precise place that they're staying? Both teams are already in Oita. They are staying in Oita. They are training in Oita. There is no match in Oita this weekend, so no clash for the pitch. All of this had apparently been arranged before the match was confirmed as cancelled - so as a contingency plan (or as WR call it "a what now?) The only part of that contingency that wasn't enacted, was transport from one part of Oita to another part of Oita, and possibly transport and hotels for 3 match officials. Again, literally nobody is saying that the match should have taken place where originally planned, nor in the official backup 14 miles away (WTF? It doesn't need to be the biggest typhoon for 60 years to affect an area bigger than 14 miles!). Literally nobody is saying that rugby is more important than the typhoon. We're just saying that it is possible and feasible to play rugby in a different part of the country to a typhoon. As evidence, we present the fact that rugby was played in a different part of the country to the typhoon. [/QUOTE]
