I noted;

"On Thursday the British government warned its citizens to watch their step if travelling to France – the sort of advice normally issued to citizens travelling to certain parts of central America or the Middle East"

And

"What happens if August arrives and France is still in the grip of what some are already calling an ‘insurrection’? If the safety of players, officials and fans cannot be guaranteed, an alternative venue would surely have to be considered by World Rugby? It might be an idea for someone to put a call in now to Twickenham and the other home nation stadiums to see how their agenda looks. Just in case. "

Maybe things will have calmed down. Or will my ticket for England lvs Chile in Lillle be valid at HQ?
