Fans to be reimbursed for match tickets as refixture set for March 4

SUPPORTERS short-changed by last Saturday’s non-event in Paris will be reimbursed the price of their match ticket if they so choose but the Six Nations have confirmed there will be no contribution made to offset any travel or accommodation expenses.

And Irish fans were given the short end of the stick yet again with the news that tournament organisers have decided on a late Sunday afternoon kick-off for the rescheduled game which will take place on March 4.

That complicates still further the task of those fans intent on making the return trip to the Stade de France in three weekends’ time after the IFRU’s request to have the game staged 24 or so hours earlier on the Saturday was ignored.
