It took me 12 minutes to get this.........Yeah, I really think Dalot should be given a chance

I'm not a rugby nerd but I believe what likely happens here is Samoa will pretend to be good at rugby for the first half before deciding they aren't good at rugby in the second half. So I would highly recommend not watching.What are the odds of Samoa doing Ireland a favour today? Betfair has them -19 handicap...
Well I'll have to take a look at the table but I imagine this means we'd need ye to beat Japan and us to get a bonus point win over Samoa to top the group?@unchanged_lineup , I’m unsure why you are upset with this? This hurts us way more than you guys as you are pretty much through to the quarters.
FFS, Samoa why did you not just kick it out and go for a lineout at the halfway line if you wanted to try and get a losing bonus point?! So stupid going for the scrum, 5 metres out from your own try line!
Even if we get the bonus point win against Russia, it’s still in Japan’s hands and I just can’t see us beating them by more than 7 points with 4 tries. Plus they also have the advantage of having more time to prepare for the game than we do.
It's still an inconsistent team, there are times where players try to do too much. And I don't like Serin, he is way too slow in his game management.What do you reckon, voice of French realism @JPRouve ?
It looked initially like France might run away with it, but Tonga have hung on well.
The ref is having a bit of a mare though. They said he used to play for Racing, is he trying to avoid any sign of favouritism? Tonga should have had a yellow.
You should win, but Tonga took their bit of luck well there.It's still an inconsistent team, there are times where players try to do too much. And I don't like Serin, he is way too slow in his game management.
Big scare at the end there!That was really bad from France.
Yeah France look really poor. England should beat them straight forward enough next week and then expect Wales to beat France in the 1/4'sThis looks like great news for Wales.
Shock would be an understatement, we are still relatively weak when it comes to fundamentals and game management.After today's performance, France look in danger of a shock WC Final again, @JPRouve

As far as I know, "no" is the answer. Knockout games would be replayed, but any group matches cancelled same-day are not replayed.Surely there is a contingency for this kind of thing? Another Stadium to host the game perhaps? It would seem very unfair if Ireland were to go out on the basis of this.
I think so too. I think there was an extra clarification that this relates to games cancelled inside the 24hrs before kickoff.I am sure I read any group games that don't take place go down as a 0-0 draw.
I agree the tournament is easily long enough to cope with an "extra" match.I am sure they'll make sure it's played. It would devalue the entire thing if someone got eliminated like this.

Latest update I've seen is that the game will go ahead in another city if necessaryJust seen this now.
So the name of the typhoon is 'Typhoon Hagibis'. I’m convinced Hagibis is related to Haggis....the stars/weather whatever are aligning . Could do with a bit of luck for a change!
