As far as the tournament goes the severity of the storm has no influence on my thought process. The fact that this was a distinct possibility and has been ignored disgraceful.
One team has had its (admittedly very slim) chance to qualify for the knockouts taken away from them. From that team the best player to have pulled on his country's jersey has been robbed of his send off.
3 of the front runners have been given a large advantage because their players have had to play one less game than other teams.
And finally there is a chance that my team may be knocked out without playing their last game and neutral fans have been robbed of what has the potential to be one of the most entertaining group games.
Add to all this until last year when world rugby should have been stress testing plans for this world cup they were coming up with unpopular and unworkable plans to "improve" international rugby tournaments.
