TOKYO - The under-threat Rugby World Cup game between Japan and Scotland will go ahead as scheduled, tournament organisers said on Sunday, after an inspection of the Yokohama Stadium where it is due to be played after a powerful typhoon.
Sunday’s other two pool games between the United States and Tonga in Osaka and between Wales and Uruguay in Kumamoto will also go ahead after passing safety inspections. They also said fans should expect a significantly reduced level of spectator service and as a result are allowing them to bring in their own drinks - but non-alcoholic only.
