Does anyone know when the IRB will communicate whether tomorrow's matches will happen?

I read somewhere that it will be 6 hours before kick off.

There will be regular updates but not as regular as Steve Hansen calling Pizza Hut.

6 hours or up to 4 once damage accessed to see if everything can function.

Look out for BCM66 twitter post soon - where he heard from bloke down the pub - and make plans on the opposite

Quite happy if Wales game is called off tbh.

So will still have to wait to see if this bored will calm down once they decide the match will be played or prep popcorn for a bored meltdown..

I read somewhere it would be midnight UK time.

Why would anyone have a meltdown?

Are you new here

Canada Namibia game almost certain to be called off.
Given Yokohama is right at the centre of the typhoon it will be a miracle if the game is played.

That was my thinking too, 4 days ago
Right now Yokohama stadium would look like a giant swimming pool, you could have jets print races in it.

Flatman on ITV just now...
It's a tad windy.

looks bad, he had hair on his head when they started.. i'm expecting a cancellation

When Suncorp Stadium flooded a few years ago, it took weeks to get up and running again.
The rest of the world cup could be affected still

For safety sake just call the game off.
I am sure everyone will understand.

What's Mark Strong doing in Japan?

Conditions are easing in Yokohama. It has been very wet but I'm not sure the pitch would be completely underwater - depends on the drainage.

Let's not forget this from ealier in the year:

Given that the game is scheduled to be played at the Kamaishi Recovery Stadium, it'd be a miracle if they take the weather in Yokohama into consideration.

Haha. That was poorly written by me. Case of the brain going faster than my typing.
Id jumped on to the Scotland Japan game for the second sentence!

I would love to have seen South Africa and New Zealand slug it out in those conditions..

Hold it in Japan they said, it will grow the game they said...

This is a once in a generation storm.

The chances of the game being played are as likely as someone in the Amish community or someone in a coma watching it live.

I figured that was the case but couldn’t resist the open door

People also aren't realising that police / security etc might have more important things to do tomorrow. It is not simply whether a pitch is available.

Yip it will be the infra structure etc in surrounding areas.
Safety is the only consideration.

Given this is World Rugby we are talking about, I expect they will make the call sometime on Monday evening.

Yet it was entirely predictable.

If Ireland had lost to Samoa they would have called it on by now. However it's now obviously going to be called off sometime tomorrow.

What's that from ..... the walking dead?

That's the photo of this forum after the Scotland game is canned. That's not mud by the way.

I was feeling a bit sorry for the sweaties but after the threats to WR I hope the game does get called off.

Wrong Celts, it’s not us that goes for dirty protests.

Involuntary bowl movement

It's still the middle of fúcking typhoon season.

HH has made the call so it can all kick off now.

Seems like you’re now set to be a whinging pain in everyone’s arse regardless of the decision. I’ve got to hand it to you and respect your level of whiny bitch.

No one predicts them this big.
There is a pretty big difference between cat 3 and cat 5
