Rugby World Cup Organizers: I know, let’s hold the next World Cup in Japan. It’s a great idea to hold it somewhere outside the rugby powerhouses of the world. When? Why, what better time to hold it than right at the peak of typhoon season when there is absolutely no chance of massive disruption to the tournament. What’s that, why don’t we make contingency plans like playing the game at a different stadium or a different day to avoid any cancelled games due to weather? No, no, no that would be far too sensible and fair to the teams that had a chance to not get knocked out of the tournament.
The England-France game wasn’t going to be aired here anyway, so I don’t mind too much. Also gives us the advantage of being able to rest our players before the quarter-final. Which doesn’t seem fair. Now we’ve got no excuses for not beating Australia or whoever we play next.
And it would be remiss of me not to mention the shameful spectacle of US soldiers pulling out of North Syria so that Turkey can attack the US-allied Kurds – apparently justifiable by Trump because the Kurds did not fight alongside the US in WW2. Bewildering. That is blood on Trump’s hands, and he thinks he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. <Category A swear word deleted>
