Typhoon Threatens England v France Match On Sunday

Wednesday, 9 October 2019 14:33

Weather could intervene in crucial tie

Saturday's Rugby World Cup Pool C match between France and England could be played behind closed doors. 

With Typhoon Hagibis set to make landfall this weekend, The Telgraph reports that the game will be moved from Yokohama to Oita (pro: oh-ee-toe).

They claim both teams have already been informed of the plan and that it would played in an empty stadium to ensure the safety of supporters. 

World Rugby are set to hold a briefing on the 'anticipated impact' of the typhoon on the final round of pool games tomorrow morning.
