If Sco v Jap is cancelled, Nessie will finally reveal himself, half cut on single malt, swirling a claymore above his head looking to wreak vengeance on the (dis)organising committee.Am I the only one wating to see what kind of monster comes out of the pacific rim when this storm hits?
But Godzilla will rise, with firey breath, to defend his nation...If Sco v Jap is cancelled, Nessie will finally reveal himself, half cut on single malt, swirling a claymore above his head looking to wreak vengeance on the (dis)organising committee.

What about the alternative ending, where Godzilla teams up with Nessie gets pissed on sake, get tattoes, gang-bangs Hello Kitty, and leaves Tokyo a wreckI would watch this movie.
I don't think that's going to happen.What about the alternative ending, where Godzilla teams up with Nessie gets pissed on sake, get tattoes, gang-bangs Hello Kitty, and leaves Tokyo a wreck
"If New Zealand needed four or five points against us, it would not have been cancelled," he added in comments published on the official Rugby World Cup news service but later removed.
That was Sergio Parisse.
I would watch this movie.
Poor thing - she gets lonely in that lock.I don't think that's going to happen.
Maybe Godzilla will straddle Nessie and give her a proper f***ing. She's been begging for it for a long time now.
Time to get some strange!!!
they have had over 72hrs notice.
I'm so angry I've had to join this forum to let out some of my frustration. How dare they do this to our game. It is criminal negligence on the part of World Rugby. They knew Japan was prone to typhoons but didn't have a contingency? England have already left for Myazaki, which proves the game could have been played elsewhere. This tournament has been ruined. How can you some teams playing more games than others. Italy definitly and maybe Scotland should consider sueing World Rugby.It's a tainted world cup from now on, put an asterix next to it! Everyone knows it was Italy's to lose.
More seriously, I do get that logistically it is hard to reorganise in a window when an extreme weather event is scheduled, but they have had over 72hrs notice. They could move a critical match to Okinawa in the far south or Hokkaido in the far north depending on forecast, long before it hits. Japan is a big old place.
The stereotype is that Japan is an incredibly conservative and bureaucratic country, and this lack of flexibility does appear a bit consistent with that. On the flip side, stereotypically reputation is everything in Japan. If it is made clear to them that it would reflect badly on them as hosts and as a team to progress due to a storm then I think the organisers will get full authority to make the Scotland game happen, even if it is behind closed doors.
Also, I think in cricket world cups, if it rains, then tough. Is that right? You draw if not enough overs are played.
And finally, let's not lose sight that typhoons can be fatal, admittedly less so in developed countries. Let's just hope that fans and the public don't end up facing something biblical.
EDIT: bloody hell, a typhoon in the Philippines in 1975 reportedly resulted in the deaths of an estimated 229,000 people through the initial damage and then a dam bursting.
That's like our typical day in Cape Town between November - JanuaryDoes anyone know why they cancelled the games so early? Accuweather says gusts of 110 kph in Toyota . That's not huge , the hurricanes have probably played in that.
