Rugby World Cup organisers apologised to the thousands of fans who were stuck outside the Marseille stadium and those who struggled to make their way to the Bordeaux arena, and promised to address the concerns over the national anthems on Wednesday.
The World Cup pool D match between England and Argentina in Marseille got underway on Saturday to hundreds of empty seats as supporters were queuing outside while in Bordeaux tramway problems delayed fans arrival for the Ireland v Namibia game.
"We apologise to the fans who missed kickoff. It was our responsibility," France 2023 president Jacques Rivoal told a press conference.
"We are very confident in our capacity in our capacity and in the capacity of the organising committee to address these challenges and find de relevant solutions," tournament director Michel Pousseau said.
