Benjamin_Nevis Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Anything Eddie Jones says should be filed straight in the nearest bin. He is by some distance the most classless individual in world sport. A graceless winner, and an utter cry baby of a loser. f**k him, and the horse he rode in on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearthammer Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 From interviews i've seen from both the SRU spokesperson and the IRFU, i wouldn't be surprised if the IRFU decided to punish Scotland by cancelling the game. Scotland have had the temerity to challenge the blazers, which is a no-no. It seems they have taken strong exception to Scotland's stance, and the fact that it was mentioned about "if it was New Zealand . . . .". Like most sporting bodies who wield full power, any insurrection will be severely dealt with. I so hope i'm wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Scotland are out, I'm surprised so many people are still holding out hope. Theyll announce its cancelled tomorrow. On a further note, the typhoon is suspiciously named as "Typhoon Haggis", this was planned all along IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S7C Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Bit surprised at the general sentiment on social media, which seems to be that people hope we get crushed because we had the audacity to seek legal action. Also noticed a few people suggesting that it's selfish and petty to seek legal counsel because safety is more important than rugby and people could die. Which is a moronic argument as nobody is suggesting otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 9 hours ago, Estragon said: My understanding was that the typhoon was supposed to pass over tomorrow - whether the game would be going ahead or not would be decided by the amount of damage inflicted upon the stadium. Some clown was on the radio earlier saying that World Rugby organising a WC in typhoon season was on par with the disruption suffered by the cricket world cup in England due to rain. It's been an absolutely mystifying move. By all means play it in Japan, but why not May/June? June is wet season. It's also 37°C + not to mention high humidity. November-April would be the best weather for a WC in Japan. That doesn't tie in with the World rugby calendar though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's especially stupid since world rugby have actually created a situation where the Scotland team, the Japanese team, and tens of thousands of fans are now in the area the Typhoon will hit on the off chance the game goes ahead on Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kind who call football "wendyball" and wear St George outfits to Twickers. Oh, and Eddie Jones for some reason.

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) I see that the forecast for Yokohama has moderated somewhat, with rain and high winds supposed to ease around 21.00 tonight. Tomorrow is forecast to be a lovely day actually. It looks hopeful for the game going ahead. It'll all depend on any collateral damage left from today.
