- Twickenham would host largest crowd since lockdown
- Game proposed as a pivotal test case for fans’ return
England hope to host as many as 20,000 supporters at Twickenham for their international match with the Barbarians on 25 October. The Rugby Football Union has asked the UK government for permission to host the largest number of fans so far at a UK sports event since the coronavirus lockdown.
The non-cap international against the Barbarians could therefore become a pivotal test case in the government’s pilot scheme aimed at returning supporters to contests across the UK.
