TOKYO - As Tokyo braces for the arrival of Typhoon Hagibis, Scotland fans are no longer laughing at its revised appellation of “Haggis” as they hope it moves on quickly enough for their crucial World Cup pool game against Japan to go ahead on Sunday.
If Scotland’s game against Japan in Yokohama goes the same way, the hosts will advance to the quarter-finals for the first time and Scotland will almost certainly be eliminated. However, many of his compatriots have taken to social media to voice their concerns that organizers may not be trying that hard to get the game played.
A column in the country’s Scotsman newspaper labeled the move to cancel, and potentially cancel, games as a “shameful decision that undermines the integrity of the Rugby World Cup”.Scotland are still stinging from the 2015 tournament when they were denied a place in the semi-finals by an incorrect last-minute penalty that handed Australia victory at Twickenham.
And it is not just the Scots who raised an eyebrow at the Pool A schedule, which gives Japan a week between each of their matches while everyone else in the tournament has at least one short turnaround.
