Chindie Posted October 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2019 Just now, BOF said: Maybe they'll be taken more seriously now! They should be. They summoned the very power of meteorological might to earn a draw. Who wouldn't fear that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Think Scotland are in serious trouble. Even if it has passed and Sunday is much calmer the likelihood is it's going to do enough damage to leave conditions unplayable. World Rugby should be doing everything possible to get it played though. Get them on a plane. Go elsewhere. Play the game. Scottish Rugby Union talking lawsuits apparently.

theboyangel Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 The weather is slightly unprecedented but it’s not ideal to finalise a crucial group stage of a tournament by imposing a draw by abandoning fixtures. I’d much rather Scotland go out following a defeat to Japan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Never let rugger types try and lord it over footballers again about which game is for real men. Cancelling games in your ‘world’ cup, because rain is forecast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Absolute shambles . I know you can’t help the weather , but Jesus Christ they should have had a plan B set in place . It’s not as if these storms are uncommon in Japan . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 They’ve got 4G pitches, the rain will drain away. Pussies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Rugby administrators are terrible. Rugby's dirty little secret is that most players are cretins, either because they were a bit simple to begin with, or because a 25 stone Tongan shoulder charged them in the face at 30mph. Unfortunately, World Rugby, the RFU, etc. tend to recruit from that pool of perma-concussed ex-pros or (even worse) nutters who let people run over their heads, gouge their eyes and molest their testicles as a weekend hobby. Add in the stubborn, misplaced confidence afforded by neanderthal levels of testosterone, and you have a recipe for hilarious incompetence. No surprise at all that this very foreseeable typhoon season (the hint is in the word "season" - it happens every year) has bamboozled them. A shame, because rugby union can be a great sport to watch. Hopefully it'll pick up a bit in the knockout stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 The Scots really do seem like a bunch of petulant, obnoxious words removed. Absolutely loving the score line so far. Japan are a legitimately really good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Japan play a fearless, flowing and relentlessly adventurous style of rugby that is a joy to watch. scotland will wish this game had been cancelled and lay the blame there for their early departure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 This is awesome. Commentator is right it’s like watching the baa baas. Japan are just fearless in attack. They have to get into the rugby championship soon to aid their development. Like someone said previously they do need to keep a team in the Super League as well.
