What would you do about the rugby?

Play the games and hope nobody getting there dies and it’s not completely farcical
Move the games to a less affected region and try to handle to ticketing chaos and other logistical challenges which will ensue
Cancel the games. Giving us the group win and hilariously dumping the Jocks out

The F1 is probably more easily cancellable. Lewis Hamilton certainly hopes so.

Similar dilemma to the cycling in Harrogate last week - shouldn't have gone ahead but impossible to rearrange.

It will have to go ahead, no high balls though I would assume?

How can that be enforced?

The game time can be delayed, but it has to be played on the correct day, otherwise it is cancelled as a 'no result'.

Don't worry about the rugby... Worry about me!

Just rejoined a cruise ship sailing between China and Japan every few days!

New Zealand have all but won the World Cup anyway. Just postpone all remaining games and give them the title. Easy

Do you really think so? I think this is by far the most open WC contest ever.

Do not rule out the Saffers. In their game against NZ they kicked their ass for the first 20 minutes. If they can learn from what went wrong after that (2 bad passes in essence was the difference in the scoreline) I think they could take them.

I agree - NZ are favourites but SA have looked really good. England haven't looked bad either, and you can't rule out Ireland (ranked #2), Wales and possibly Australia.

In my opinion, New Zealand are the model of consistency and that's the difference. They are the only country I would put my mortgage on getting past France, Scotland or Japan on any given day. I think those three nations could beat any of the other contenders with a fair wind behind them and the rub of the green.

I will absolutely laugh my jocks off if the scotch are eliminated by a typhoon.

If they are,I expect Sturgeon will want another World Cup next year. :wave:

No need, they will run out of balls if they try it too often.

They will string a huge low-slung net across the whole pitch.

Yep. The all blacks no longer unbeatable. 3 or 4 in with a great chance. 1 or 2 could conceivably cause an upset or two

Four years time. Not sure whether the referendum will be sooner or not.

Can envisage Ireland knocking New Zealand out in their upcoming quarter final.

England v France cancelled.

I think it will pass in time for the Scotland game as long at it doesn't cause too much damage. It's scheduled to hit the Kanto area at around 3am Sunday morning..
