The Rugby Football Union is banking on supporters to self-police and stay away from Twickenham on Saturday if they have a confirmed case of Covid-19, or any symptoms, with no plans to check vaccine passes with restrictions in England to be lifted on Thursday.
The match on Saturday will be the first major international sporting event in England since restrictions were lifted with more than 80,000 supporters due at Twickenham. It will also be the first Six Nations match at Twickenham at full capacity since the same fixture two years ago, which took place just days before the UK was plunged into its first lockdown and with England’s subsequent trip to Italy already postponed.
