Major rugby final at he Stade de France yesterday evening, a capacity crowd and NO problems.
The newspaper "Le Parisien" had a report that I wish could be taken up by the UK media. The headline of the article is:

Final of the Top 14; Rugby isn't football (but) I have never felt insecure in a stadium.
The pre match evolved in the great calmness between the supporters of Castres and Monpellier, who had had no difficulty in getting in (or to)the Stade de France where their teams contested the final of the Top 14 this evening.

It compares the pre match scenes yesterday evening with the chaos of the Liverpool/Madrid game a month earlier.
How can the UK media continue to ignore that the problem lies with the hooligan lawless element of the rs supporters.
