- Autumn Nations Cup final will have 2,000 fans attending
- Eddie Jones gives Alfie Barbeary first call up to England team
England supporters are set to go thirsty at Sunday’s Autumn Nations Cup final against France with the Rugby Football Union keeping the Twickenham bars shut when fans return for the first time since March.
It is understood the RFU has decided alcohol will be available only “in restaurant-style facilities and be served to the table with a substantial meal”, in line with government regulations on hospitality venues in tier 2. As a result, the bars around the stadium will stay closed with just one stall – offering food, soft drinks and tea and coffee – open. Supporters, who are ordinarily allowed to drink in their seats, will also be banned from bringing alcohol with them.
