World Rugby is monitoring.
Typhoon Hagibis has formed off the south east shore of Japan in the Western Pacific Ocean, together with forecasts suggesting it could reach on the island of Kyushu this weekend.
Ireland face Samoa in the Kyushu city of Fukuoka on Saturday, at which a success to secure their place is needed by Joe Schmidts guys.
Any matches cancelled at the World Cup are enrolled as scoreless draws, making two things.
