Just need to hope that Typhoon doesn't arrive and force the cancellation of the game - we walk out with a 0-0 draw and straight onto a plane home.
The possibility of this game being cancelled appears to be growing. Now I'm no expert in organizing global sports events but I would have to say if that happens then the rugby world should be mocked relentlessly until the end of time. A competition that for the first 3 or 4 weeks is already largely a complete farce given the continual blow out score lines would become a total laughing stock if the host nation were to advance without having to win their pivotal group game. The small print in the rules suggest that they do not have the option of moving it back 24 hrs which would appear to have been a sensible solution that is not available to the organisers. That a tournament that lasts a ludicrous length of time with endless off days doesn't have better safe guards in place for a postponement especially given these weather concerns is beyond incompetent.

Not letting it go.
I think they'll move the game.

I preferred Typhoon when he was Tugboat.
