What you're saying is very different to what they're saying:

Strongest typhoon to make landfall in recorded history in terms of pressure as well now. Also coupled with the fact that it's a full moon so water levels are naturally higher, leading to more flooding and water damage.

This did not "happen last month", as you said earlier. It's all well and good saying western media are hyping it up or taking an interest because of the F1 and world cup, but watch Japanese media and you'll see what JMA are saying directly.

You've literally linked to media outlets to claim its coming from the JMA?? It would be like linking to RTE claiming theyre met eireann.

Kozushima Airport have recorded 60knts over the last hour.

It's NHK quoting JMA. Surely you understand how that works? It's not like RTE claiming they're Met Eireann, it's RTE quoting Met Eireann.

Looks like the eye is hitting the coast:

All stadiums and pitches being expected I believe to be safe was my understanding

Have a drink anytime you hear a pundit say "contingency"

To be fair, like pretty much every other objection raised - that's easily fixable with multiple solutions

Dont confirm the actual venue.

Or even, put out reports the game is called off while moving the teams and then announce it will be played a couple of hours before it kicks off

Or, charter a plane a few days before the windy weather hits and fly the two teams to another country.

I honestly havnt seen a single argument advanced which genuinely holds up which prevents games being moved (moving fans absolutely, moving 100 people to a pitch away from the bad weather hits - doable)

It's not 100 people it's also security and volunteers who are currently much more concerned with helping out with the evacuations and post typhoon support to care less about a rugby match

Surely the point is to move the game away from the typhoon therefore the local security and volunteers wouldn’t be involved anyway.

The earthquake recorded a 4 on Japan’s intensity scale of 7, with the epicentre located in the Pacific Ocean off Chiba Prefecture, close to major cities such as Tokyo and Shizuoka on the south coast of the Honshu island. No tsunami warning has been issued.

Well the good news is that it has now past and the winds (in Tokyo) are back to being "normal":
