    Losing team gets a bonus if they lose by 7 points or less.

    Typhoon Haggis sees the game postponed and both teams awarded 2 points

    Hastings was very impressive, we have great amount of quality and depth in the squad now, see what happens when the association invests properly at grassroots and you reap the benefits nifits down the line. If only the SFA could do the same.

    Simmer down, Ireland just mugged us off a fortnight ago.

    Wait until we’ve pumped the All Blacks before gloating :34:

    Which was probably our worst performance in a long time, but still the options we’ve got and the level the players play at every week is promising.

    If we score 4 trys and they don’t then it doesn’t matter how many we win by. But if both us and Japan score less than 4 trys or more then we need to win by more than 7 points.

    Win by more than 7 points - 4 points (goes to head to head - Scotland through)

    Win scoring 4 or more tries - 5 points (regardless of winning margin - points or head to head - Scotland through)

    Win by less than 7 points and score less than 4 tries - 4 points but Japan awarded 1 point - Japan through)


    Win - 4 points
    4 more tries - 1 point
    Loss by 7 or less - 1 point

    If we both score 4 tries do we still need to beat them by more than 7 as both would get a BP?

    You just know we'll both score 4 tries, be leading by 9 and a last minute pen will make it 6..:56:

    French media reporting that our game will be cancelled and that it's too late for contingency plans.

    Farcical if true.

    They'll change location and time since it's a decisive game, decision is to be announced soon, same with all Saturday and Sunday games.

    Cannot see that happening given the games importance. It will not be ideal for either side but if they have to move the game they will.

    You would like to think they wouldn’t just cancel the host nations game.

    The whole of Japan must be hooked after the Ireland win.

    The Japanese aren't the sort that would take pride in winning by default either. Hopefully there's plans in place to move it.

    England France looks like it's going to be cancelled.

    They can’t just cancel a World Cup game and say Japan are through.
