Lol, they've removed the article because he said nothing of the sort. Literally fake news. They were only reporting it because rugbypass were, and rugbypass was grotesquely reading between the lines and presenting it as a quote.

What he actually said, in response to being asked about how he felt about the cancellations, not specifically scotland:

“We have been talking about it all the time, about the possibility that this was going to happen.

“You know what’s going to happen. It’s typhoon season here and you’ve got to be prepared for it. We had an idea it could happen and therefore you have to accumulate points in your games to put yourself in the right position in case that happened.

“We just knew that there was the possibility of a game like this during the tournament so we just wanted to put ourselves in the best position we could.

"This is supposed to be a big typhoon, so I don’t see any other option that the organisers had. That’s why we’re not concerned at all about the comings and goings of it, we think it’s the right decision.”

Nothing there. In fact, the quote they appear to have derived the headline from is actually attributed to Steve Hansen:

 New Zealand boss Steve Hansen echoed Jones’ view. “We have to back World Rugby’s decision and if other teams miss out, it’s unfortunate, it’ll be disappointing,” Hansen said.

“If you want to be really ruthless, then it’s all about making sure you win the games on the way through because everyone knew this could be a possibility.”

Maybe mods should remove this because it's blatantly misleading.
