There is a newspaper report that sport matches in Paris will be cancelled this weekend because of the Yellow Vests protests in France this weekend.   The report only refers to Paris where  Racing Metro is playing Leicester/


However, the movement has even more support in smaller cities, towns and rural areas - at present supported by 67% of the populace - and this may effect other matches as well.  Other matches that could eb e3ffected are -


*   Lyon  vs   Glasgow

*   Toulon  vs  Montpellier


Is there any confirmation as to what is going on with the matches referred to?

Thanks Brycy

I know - I have been to France 3 times and I know the country well,    Has been to Lyon. Montpellier and  Toulouse.   Lyon is in the center of France from a  north-south perspective, Montpellier and Toulouse in the far south of the country..

What worried me is that the Paris protest are basically carried  out by rural people from the French provinces and not from Paris itself.
