A friend texted me Wednesday night indicating France’s final World Cup Pool C game against England was going to fall victim to the typhoon hammering Japan.

Yesterday, that, and the cancellation of the All Blacks-Italy game were confirmed with someone reckoning there’d been nothing as destructive at a RWC since Jonah Lomu tore up England in 1995.
