SO IS THE JAPAN v SCOTLAND GAME GOING AHEAD?

*****It is scheduled on the World Rugby Website and on the telly (ITV) and THE SCOTLAND TEAM has been announced for the game ....


BUT IT SEEMS BY LOOKING AT VARIOUS WEBSITES THAT THE GAME IS UNDER THREAT OF NOT GOING AHEAD!


*****You can understand WHY Scotland is upset ~ as they are in third place on the Pool Table just a point behind Ireland ~ and so battling it out for a place in the Quarter Finals (if I'm understanding the way this works properly)

***Also if Scotland did actually BEAT JAPAN - they would have 14 points the same as Japan and 15 if they beat Japan with 4 Tries or more!


HOW SAD FOR SCOTLAND ~ both the Squad and the Fans :-(


This is the SCOTLAND TEAM if it does go ahead...

Backs: 15. Stuart Hogg; 14. Tommy Seymour, 13. Chris Harris, 12. Sam Johnson, 11. Darcy Graham, 10. Finn Russell, 9. Greg Laidlaw (Captain)

Forwards: 1. Allan Dell, 2. Fraser Brown, 3. Willem Nel, 4. Grant Gilchrist, 5. Johnny Gray, 6. Marcus Bradbury, 7. Jamie Ritchie, 8. Blade Thomson.

Replacements: 16. Stuart McInally, 17. Gordon Reid, 18. Zander Fagerson, 19. Scott Cummings, 20. Ryan Wilson, 21. George Horne, 22. Peter Horne, 23. Blair Kinghorn.

I quite agree Sue :-)

The Scotland game v Japan is still scheduled on ITV 1 though! So perhaps it's resolved now!

I can appreciate the Scottish team and the frustration but I really feel sorry for fans who have paid quite large sums to travel and will not see any rugby :-(

THE WALES TEAM <3 TO FACE URUGUAY
