Scotland threaten legal action against World Rugby.

    The Scottish Rugby Union has threatened legal action against World Rugby after being forced to play a match against Japan in which they were comprehensively beaten by the hosts.

    Needing a win in order to qualify for the quarter-finals, the match was initially threatened by Typhoon Hagibis, and a draw would have seen Scotland fail to progress.

    However, the weather ended up easing in time for the match to be played, and Scotland were therefore forced to be put to the sword by a rampant and jubilant Japan side.

    Speaking after the match, tight-head prop Simon McWilliams confessed, “Before the match we would have been sad to leave the competition early, but at least we wouldn’t have been shown up as totally useless on the world stage.

    For once, a Boots website which does not specialise in fake news. 100% kosher, genuine reporting. My favourite article from that site:

    Nicola Sturgeon says we don't like the result, we want a replay. Not all the Scottish fans were there.

    '' I’m sorry to inform everyone on here who has supported the England rugby team in the World Cup today but New Zealand have requested another game to be played as the result was too close to call and they had players waiting to play who weren’t quite old enough so now the World Cup needs to be put on hold for the foreseeable future until a new date can be arranged for a rematch. A minimum 90 day delay has been requested, but this could be a flextension that could last for years.

    It has been suggested that shipments of New Zealand lamb could be affected by the result leading to serious lamb shortages on the shelves in the UK. This should make us think again about accepting this unfair result. No one knew this before the game concluded and it could have altered the result.

    Furthermore, it has been suggested that the England team were offered large financial inducements, in the form of win bonuses, if they were to reach the final. There have been calls to have these fully investigated to establish the source of the inducements while the delay is in place.

    In other news: some of the other teams have now objected to the terms of the final and have insisted that the final is delayed until NO WIN is taken off the table. These opponents of NO WIN have rejected calls that this should be put to a formal vote of any kind before their demands are ratified! ''
