World Cup organizers warn of typhoon approaching Japan RWC2019
TOKYO, Japan - World Cup organizers have briefed both France and the United States on “contingency options” for their Pool C match in Fukuoka on Wednesday if the game is affected by Typhoon Mitag, which is developing off the south-west coast of Japan.
“The latest information indicates that the typhoon is moving further away from Japan’s coastline than originally predicted and the impact risk is reducing,” World Rugby said in a statement on Sunday. World Rugby’s tournament rules dictate that if a match is disrupted by adverse weather then it is canceled and considered a draw with both sides awarded two points.New Zealand and Canada are also in Kyushu for their match on Wednesday, although the game is at Oita on the north-eastern corner of the island.
On Sept. 9, a storm roared ashore just east of Tokyo, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people and causing transport delays for people traveling to and from Narita airport.
