• Organisers may be forced to cancel England and Scotland games
• Games cancelled due to weather count as scoreless draws
England and Scotland’s World Cup pool deciders this weekend are under threat from one of the most violent super typhoons in recent history, potentially causing chaos for tens of thousands of travelling supporters.
World Rugby may be forced into taking the unprecedented step of cancelling Saturday’s Pool C match between England and France – as well as Scotland’s crucial fixture with the World Cup hosts Japan 24 hours later – with the category five super typhoon headed for Yokohama. Both matches were among the most in-demand among supporters when tickets went on sale.
