And on the subject of hurricanes

Scotland to take legal action if Typhoon Hagibis forces cancellation

The Rugby World Cup (being hosted by Japan) was awarded to the nation back in 2009. In the time since that decision was made, Japan has seen landfalling hurricanes between September and November on the following occasions:

2009: Melor
2010: Malou, Meranti
2011: Talas, Roke
2012: Jelawat
2013: Toraji, Man-yi, Danas, Wipha
2014: Fung-Wong, Phanfone, Vongfong
2015: Etau
2016: Namtheun, Malou, Malakas, Chaba
2017: Talim, Lan, Saola
2018: Jebi, Trami, Kong-rey

If you are telling me that World Rugby (the organisers) did not have a backup plan for matches being cancelled due to landfalling typhoons then WHAT THE HECK WERE THEY PLAYING AT SINCE 2009???
