England v France Cancelled

Sue to Typhoon Hagibis the final pool game between England and France has been cancelled and will be declared a 0-0 draw.

Both teams have already qualified for the the Quarter Finals with England now finishing top after scoring 4 try bonus point wins in each of their other games.

World Rugby Chief Operating Officer and Tournament Director Alan Gilpin: 

“This is a complex and dynamic situation which we have been monitoring extremely closely with the assistance of our weather information experts. We are now in a position to accurately predict the likely impact of Typhoon Hagibis on Rugby World Cup fixtures this weekend.

“While making every possible effort to put in place a contingency plan that would enable all of Saturday’s matches to be played, it would be grossly irresponsible to leave teams, fans, volunteers and other tournament personnel exposed during what is predicted to be a severe typhoon."
