Eddie Jones unfazed by cancelled France game

Typhoon Hagibis is ripping through Japan.

Eddie Jones claims the "typhoon gods" have smiled on England after their World Cup group decider against France was cancelled due to the approach of Super Typhoon Hagibis.

In one of the most extraordinary days in the tournament's 32-year history, the all-Six Nations meeting, along with New Zealand's match against Italy, has been cancelled with each side receiving two points.

Still under review are Sunday's matches including Scotland's last-gasp attempt to avoid elimination by defeating Japan, which is also being staged in Yokohama.

No one expected Italy to topple world champions New Zealand and replace them in the quarter-finals, but Scotland have every chance to defeating Japan and potentially denying the hosts a first ever quarter-final place.

The Scottish Rugby Union has demanded a contingency plan be drawn up for the match and head coach Gregor Townsend has urged that everything possible is done to to ensure it goes ahead.

"We have to have faith in the organisers that the game will be played even if it's behind closed doors or at a different venue," Townsend said.
