Super Typhoon Hagibis is expected to sweep this weekend, even impacting the Pool C decider at International Stadium Yokohama on Saturday and also Scotlands critical group showdown against Japan 24 hours later.
The choices are to offset the all-Six Nations fixture or move it where the quarter-finals happen to be staged.
With Hagibis due to have proceeded on by the conclusion of the weekend, even Scotland might see their clash with Japan delayed by 24 hours played in exactly the exact identical venue.
The storm, that on Wednesday was described by the Japanese Meteorological Agency asviolent, has escalated into a Category 5 super typhoon with winds reaching 180mph.

Irelands Pool A match against Samoa on Saturday and Wales Pool D battle with Uruguay on Sunday are around the side of Japan – at Fukuoka and Kumamoto, respectively – therefore probably out of this storms Key path.
A Met Office spokesperson told that the PA news service:The general story is still the same. Typhoon Hagibis in the western North Pacific is on trail towards Japan this weekend.
As of Wednesday afternoon, it was located around 900 miles south west east of Tokyo with estimated wind speeds of around 120mph and gusts of 170mph. Clearly as Hagibis goes towards Japan it is going to weaken and these wind speeds will fall.
We are expecting that Hagibis is very likely to make landfall on Saturday, perhaps not too far from Tokyo. By that point it will have weakened significantly, but with wind strengths nonetheless of around 90mph and also with gusts up to 135mph. Together with the winds, we are currently expecting rain along its path.
Of course with these very strong and severe winds, even with heavy rain, there is probability of significant effect from the harmful winds and from storm surge. Together with waves and all the winds, there is the risk of flash flood
From the Tokyo region.
Even the Met Office spokesperson added:Even though the location and degree of effect are still rather uncertain, there is an increasing likelihood Hagibis will impact southern Japan.
