"Shame for Namibia as they played well, still some high tackles knocking around, sort it out NZ "I didn't think that match was that bad for high tackles.

" Quite a logistical exercise to shift a match, even one this critical. Hope the typhoon stays away. " i think i have found my answer.... good news.... bad news.... Super Typhoon Hagibis had initially threatened Ireland’s key match against Samoa in Fukuoka on Saturday, but has altered its course and is now zeroing in on Tokyo and Yokohama. It has escalated from a tropical storm into a super typhoon with wind speeds estimated at 160mph in one of the most dramatic intensifications of any tropical cyclone since records began so the ireland game is safe........ bad news...... because of the shift in direction.... the games now under threat are the games in yokohama.... which are the England vs France game on saturday, and the Japan vs Scotland game on sunday!!! | |||

"So if Scotland beat Japan on Saturday then they go through to the Quarters. If I am reading the points system right?? " If Scotland beat Japan then the winning margin has to be more than 8, or Japan pick up losing bonus point and finish on 15 points and qualify If Scotland beat Japan with a try bonus point then again they would have to make sure Japan don’t get a try bonus and the winning margin greater than 8 bonus as well. | |||

Even if it was a an indoor stadium they can't guarantee player and match officials safety getting to stadium.
Scotland would need a huge win against the hosts and then hope ireland didnt beat samoa which is extremely unlikely.
The england group was already decided, france couldnt catch england

Cal"The city will be on lockdown. No public transport so travel would not be possible regardless. They are saying the typhoon should have passed by the time of the game, but obviously mother nature is not that clear cut. It also depends on damage that might have occurred.... loads of ifs biuts and maybes.... | |||

"The biggest issue I have with it is that these teams have been training, going through selection, making game plans, learning new moves, trying to peak at just the right time, for 4 solid years. Then all you get is 3 games. WRC say bye-bye. These games should be played. Whether it's down the local park with just the squads present it doesn't matter. Results of all games determine the outcome of this & every Rugby World Cup. " to be honest with you... if i was "france" and they watched wales bruising game with fiji yesterday, knowing they still have to play another game on sunday.... and you good me the chance to duck the hardest game in the group and get 14 days off to rest and prepare...... I'd absolutley snap your hand off!!!!! same with england... 14 days rest to prepare for the aussies.... yes please!!!!! even more for new zealand.. they played their 2nds against canada... they basically gave their 1sts almost 3 weeks off while japan/ireland/scotland have had to fight their tails off! the only team i feel even remotely sorry for is italy, but they would have needed a bonus point win again new zealand to go thru, and lets face it... never happening! | |||

Back bone of the Italian side for a long time and very little to show for it. This RWC will be remembered for all the wrong reasons, unfortunately. | |||

"Anyone see the clips that have been doing the rounds today of the state of the pitch for tomorrow’s Ireland game? Appalling
Stockdale could lift a strip of grass and place the rugby ball underneath
Madness."It's same pitch for both teams though so no advantage or disadvantage to either team. I'd say the organisers have explored every possible avenue to make the matches happen, but relocation of match isn't as easy as some may think. A big factor is also the safety of all those concerned, including the thousands who would consider risking to travel in the light of the storm to watch the matches in new location. It's just unfortunate, but it's one of those things that can happen, much like someone unintentionally getting sent off and suddenly having to play with one less man. | |||

"World Rugby rules state that "where a pool match cannot be commenced on the day in which it is scheduled, it shall not be postponed to the following day and shall be considered as cancelled. In such situations, the result shall be allocated two points each and no score registered". Is it acceptable to decide one doesn't like the rules after one agrees to them and enter the tournament? Can a player argue with a ref about a rule he doesn't like? It's tough luck for said teams but if allowed where does it all stop?" True its bad luck for scotland if it happens but to threaten legal action is bad form.I remember in 95 s africa nearly didnt make the final due to bad weather but the sun came out 1/2 hour before it was abandoned otherwise they would have been knocked out by france on the discipline countback rule. | |||

It would have long term detrimental effects upon a sport which up till now has kept itself 'clean' and less tainted than athletics and football as far as sportsmanship goes. Yes I get what you say about all the time, energy and commitment, which I may add they're paid to do, but when a team then thinks it's above the rule makers and organisers, they'll be remembered for all the wrong reasons and not about the nature and essence of the sport. I feel for them but think it's a wrong move. I hope they see sense and don't for the sake of the sport and tournament. It would set a precedent and potentially floodgate other tournaments. | |||

Would be good to see both Ireland and Scotland go through
I’m quite cynical about it, I think the tournament organisers and world rugby have a different script they would like to see "I'm inclined to agree with you. New Zealand Italy game would have been played guaranteed if New Zealand needed the points to go through..... | |||

"Ireland Samoa pitch looks like badly laid carpet "Yep! It’s in shite. Apparently it’s new grass that’s been laid after the last game too. Look at the clips from yesterday’s captains run
Stockdale lifted a strip and placed the ball underneath | |||

"good call by the ref... glad he was really clear on the explanation" Tackling technique is going to have change quite dramatically if every contact is going to be examined in this way | |||

"good call by the ref... glad he was really clear on the explanation Tackling technique is going to have change quite dramatically if every contact is going to be examined in this way " if the attacker lowers themselves anymore then they will start pinging attackers for leading with the forearm... which is another of my pet peeves | |||

""dark art" of the game, dipping your head into a tackle. Just ask Owen Farrell who is dipping his head into a tackle and getting someone sent off in every game now. Ireland tried it, then samoo tried it." Sorry, but none of these players are wanting that level of contact to the head, it could potentially end your career or worse | |||
