So I've been doing a bit of reading around this over the course of the evening. Apparently whenever world rugby have been asked about the decision to hold the RWC in Japan at this time of year their reply has been: Don't worry there are robust contingency plans in place to deal with any disruption caused by typhoons. It turns out the robust contingency plans are to collectively put their fingers in their ears and shout "please don't let their be a typhoon!"
Parisse's remarks are telling if you didn't see it he has openly questioned if the match would have been cancelled if it were the ABs who needed points to qualify for the knockouts. I can't imagine that he would have said anything like that without the nod from his union. I would not be surprised if Scotland and Italy were consulting lawyers but that won't become apparent until at least the end of the world cup.
Also it may be a particularly strong typhoon but not a once in a generation freak occurance. It is not a surprise really is it?

True. But from what I understand from reports, this one is on a scale and of a force that is particularly out of the ordinary.
