Wales head coach Warren Gatland has been giving a press conference this morning - and says he can understand Italy's disappointment at having their World Cup game against New Zealand called off because of Typhoon Hagibis.

Cameron: all these people getting behind a cancellation decision for #SCOvJPN, external would have a different tune if it was their team playing. If Scotland go out because they didnt play well enough then fine - removing the option isn't sporting and to say otherwise is just

Alastair Temple: I am sure most of those blaming Scotland's failure to beat Ireland for our current position (re potential cancellation) would be among the first to say Ireland are a better side. So really what they are saying is Sco should be punished for Ire failure to turn up v Jpn!

The Rugby World Cup is not the only sporting event taking place in Japan this weekend that's being impacted by Typhoon Hagibis.

Formula 1 has cancelled all activities at the Japanese Grand Prix on Saturday as the biggest tropical storm of the year approaches.

That means qualifying will be held on Sunday before the race instead... in theory, at least.

Georgia have turned up and given exactly what we expected - they fronted up defensively, they've not had much of the ball but they made 125 tackles in that opening 40 minutes compared to 23 for Australia.

Half-time gives us a chance to bring you more news from off the pitch.

The BBC Rugby Union Weekly team have been absolutely smashing out podcasts during the World Cup, with the latest episode going live yesterday.

Rugby union correspondent Chris Jones and the BBC's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce joined fans in a bar in Tokyo to discuss all the current goings on, with Typhoon Hagibis predictably high on the agenda.

That particular installment is available to listen to here, while you can subscribe by searching for Rugby Union Weekly on your usual podcast provider.

Matt Toomua kicks the ball off, and Australia have the lead at the break.

Nic White's converted try is effectively the difference between the sides.

Georgia have defended doggedly but haven't made the most of their few attacking opportunities.

They'll have five minutes up against 14 men at the start of the second half after Australia number eight Isi Naisarani was sent to the sin-bin.

The moment is gone for Georgia as Australia get their hands back on the ball.

Thoughts on Australia's try scorer Nic White's tash?

Let us know #bbcrugby

Georgia prompt another Australian handling error from the restart, and they'll have a scrum on the Wallabies 22 to end the first half.

A sharp chase and tackle from Davit Kacharava brought a knock-on.

That sucks up a bit of time, and then Matt Toomua restores Australia's seven-point lead.

Georgia can't make the most of their numerical advantage straight away.

They lose their line-out on halfway and then Australia come forward.

Scum half Nic White makes the most of some contact from a back-tracking Beka Saginadze at the breakdown and the Australians get a kickable penalty.

After some consultation, referee Pascal Gauzere decides that a yellow card is the sanction for Isi Naisarani.

He came in from the side and made contact with the face of the Georgia player.

Australia are down to 14 men for the five minutes either side of the break.

No way through for the Australia forwards.

First the maul is shut out. Then no joy from the pick and drives.

The backs get a go and the Wallabies are pushed back.

Then there is an illegal clean-out from number eight Isi Naisarani.

Georgia get a penalty and this one might go to the television match official....

This time there is another penalty.

Mamuka Gorgodze is the culprit as he comes in from the side.

Referee Pascal Gauzere has a word with captain Merab Sharikadze. The penalties are piling up.

The Aussies go for another line-out...

Australian forwards are still looking to plug away and get over the Georgia line.

The Lelos stand firm again, but then hooker Shalva Mamukashvili is a bit over-eager and tackles a man without the ball.

That's a penalty to the Wallabies five metres out, and they go for touch once more.

Can they come away from this line-out with a second try?

The Wallabies gain the ball back from the kick-off and look to attack again.

But again a knock-on halts their charge right on the edge of the Georgia 22.

But this time the Lelos are penalised for collapsing their own scrum.

Australia kick to the corner.

Soso Matiashvili makes no mistake as he bisects the posts to get the Lelos on the scoreboard.

Remember, a win would give Georgia automatic qualification for France 2023.

Australia come away with the ball but as they look to run it out of defence there is a knock-on from Silatolu Latu.

Then the Australia number two is guilty of a high tackle as Merab Sharikadze tries to catch the loose ball.

That gives the Georgians a penalty just to the left of the sticks.

Wave after wave, that attack kept on coming and Nic White just sold the dummy and dived over - maybe helped by the slippery surface.

Georgia claim the line-out throw and look to drive towards the line.

But the Lelos can't get going, and Australia are awarded a scrum.
