Japan vs Scotland: How Rugby World Cup cancellation might give Scots quarter-final place

Published november 21, 2019 in Geen categorie

After the morass of Super Typhoon Hagibis, without kicking a ball, the chaos it has yielded onto the justified Scotland outrage at their elimination along with Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan, 1 factor has seemingly been forgotten.
2 competition points , and 0-0 draw that is consequent along with A Japan vs Scotland Pool A cancellation could really be sufficient for both sides to advance, based on Saturdays result between Ireland and Samoa.
Scotland to find out fate on Saturday
World Rugby disappointed as Scots get legal advice
While two Saturday Tests: England vs France in Yokohama and New Zealand vs Italy at Toyota City have been cancelled – an unprecedented step in World Cup background – Ireland vs Samoa at Fukuoka is going.
If Joe Schmidts charges lose that Evaluation without picking up bonus-point – a result that, granted, could constitute a enormous shock – they would remain on their current Pool A points total of 11.
Scotland now have 10 things, while Japan have 14. So were Ireland to shed and pick nothing up, both Japan and Scotland would actually advance to the quarter-finals in the event of a cancellation; Japan as swimming winners with 16 points to face South Africa at Tokyo on Sunday October 20, also Scotland as runners-up on 12 points to face New Zealand in Oita on Saturday October 19.
Were Ireland to lose but pick up a losing bonus-point and thus end on 12 points, as Scotland would also do in case of a rescue, Ireland would nevertheless go to their greater head-to-head record with Gregor Townsends men.
World Rugby will declare with BST whether or not Scotlands game against Japan will go ahead.
