World Rugby is tracking a typhoon which influence Irelands World Cup campaign and could hit Japan on Saturday. Typhoon Hagibis has shaped off the shore of Japan in the Western Pacific Ocean, together with forecasts suggesting it might strike that weekend to the island of Kyushu. Ireland face Samoa at the Kyushu city of Fukuoka on Saturday, in which a victory to secure their place is needed by Joe Schmidts guys. The boys have not even talked about it - we only move from day to day, catch on with our preparations, Ireland defence trainer Andy Farrell stated. World Rugby has been in contact us and theyre as keen as we have to find this sport played. I think there is a contingency plan in place. Each and every day we get on with our day task and prepare and we are going to find out what comes with that. The weather prediction varies all of the time anyhow. So we will not probably know until 48 hours away from the match. Any games cancelled in the World Cup are registered since scoreless draws, making two points. That scenario if Gregor Townsends guys conquer both Russia on Wednesday, would permit the chance to leapfrog Ireland into place to Scotland and hosts Japan on Sunday. Predictions of typhoons hitting Japan and disrupting the championship have so far unfounded. The battle of France had jeopardized with the USA in Fukuoka a week, but the match was completed with no issue. World Rugby is tracking the issue and will issue further updates as the situation grows. We are monitoring the growth of a typhoon off the south shore of Japan in partnership with all our weather data experts, said a World Rugby spokesman. Its still too early to ascertain what, if any, effect therell be on training or match actions. Read more:
