No its not a seperate direction at all. You commented that its a safety issue. Dont infer I feel the Japanese authorities are stupid. I would consider you the most level headed of all venting and ranting and one eyed posters here. You stated its a safety issue. Is it unsafe in Tokyo?. Potentially a huge yes. But Yokohama is fine?? Obviously not. But it is as they should cancel the unimportant SCO vs JPN game, but they won't. As has been stated here already, the decisions are based on the teams who are competing for the RWC and who have chance of that title, not teams such as SCO or JPN. SCO vs JPN should OBVIOUSLY be cancelled as its a safety issue. Or is the Japanese civil defence authority confident that a game a stones throw from Tokyo, and closer to the hurricane but happens to be a game invoking their host nation Japan is absolutely fine? Thats a joke. It should already have been cancelled, thats the issue. Or whoever organised this event should have done it properly. Its very conceivable that when tae day arrives its a lovely day, such is the difficulty in assessing hurricane behaviour. But SOME games were canceled when it was 1200km away, and some WEREN'T. I wonder what the reactions would be if some other teams were adversely affected by a non rugby event.

 

So much for sportsmanship, this may as well be boxing. 

 

Again, that's your opinion.

Sco-Jap minority match is as unimportant as the minority party of Winston Peters choosing Jacinda Ardern or Bill English.
