The Organizing Committee of the Rugby World Cup Japan is considering countermeasures for the upcoming Saturday and Sunday games, which may be affected by Typhoon No. 19, including changes to the venue and schedule.
At the Rugby World Cup Japan Tournament, three games including England vs. France, which will be a match between powerful players on Saturday the 12th, and 4 matches such as Japan vs. Scotland on Sunday the 13th, will be the final round of the first league. However, 6 venues are planned.
The organizing committee of the tournament is considering countermeasures, including changing the venue and schedule, as it may be difficult to hold a match depending on the future course of the large and furious Typhoon No. 19.
According to the rules of the tournament, if a match in the first league cannot be held, it will be treated as a draw for both teams without being postponed.
The organizing committee said, “The reason for exploring possibilities other than cancellation is that the target game has an impact on the ranking. The typhoon situation is changing every moment, but we will conclude tomorrow at the latest. It ’s going to be. ”
At the Rugby World Cup, the venue was changed several months ago due to the earthquake that occurred in February before the 2011 New Zealand Games, but there have been no cases where the game was canceled or postponed about it.
