[QUOTE="Swami, post: 186213, member: 13"] [SIZE=6][B]Rugby World Cup: Japan v Scotland to go ahead after stadium inspection[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [/LIST] [IMG]https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/480/cpsprodpb/9FB0/production/_109208804_scotlandrussia.jpg[/IMG] [B]Rugby World Cup Pool A: Japan v Scotland Venue:[/B] International Stadium Yokohama, Yokohama [B]Date:[/B] Sunday, 13 October [B]Kick-off: [/B]11:45 BST [B]Coverage:[/B] Live on BBC Radio Scotland, Radio 5 Live, plus text updates on the BBC Sport website and app. Scotland's World Cup game with Japan will go ahead on Sunday, World Rugby has confirmed. Gregor Townsend's men would have been eliminated from the World Cup had the Pool A finale been cancelled. The game was under threat from [URL='https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-50020108'][U]Typhoon Hagibis[/U][/URL], with a switch of dates already ruled out. The host nation lead Scotland by four points after three victories and a cancellation would have resulted in the match being declared a draw. Group rivals Ireland have secured their place in the last eight with a bonus-point win over Samoa. Scotland must now take four more points than Japan to progress to the quarter finals. An inspection of the stadium in Yokohama by World Rugby took place at 22:00 BST on Saturday, with an announcement made nearly five hours later.
