With the start of the Rugby World Cup only days away, the participating teams have arrived in villages, towns and cities across France and are finalizing their preparations for the tournament. Beaumont said about 600,000 overseas fans will be traveling for the tournament that is being held in France for the second time, after 2007. It marks the start of a big year of sports in France, which is also hosting the Olympics and Paralympics in Paris in 2024.
“It’s a great honor for all of us to be here, to come and play in a World Cup,” he said. “I think this World Cup is going to be incredible. I’ve said that to all the players. France is a special place, there are lots of big stadiums, very beautiful cities, the people are very nice, the French are like the Welsh, except for the language. We can’t wait to start the tournament.”
