The rescheduled Six Nations rugby match between France and Ireland takes place. The match was postponed shortly before the kick-off on Saturday 11 February by the Six Nations Council due to the frozen field in the stadium.
Supporters receive a full refund for their tickets, but the Irish national rugby coach, Declan Kidney, fears that many Irish supporters are unable to cover transportation and accommodation costs for the second time and are therefore not able to attend the match.
Kidney has said that Irish fans have been unfairly treated by the decision to reschedule the match.
