France v Ireland ticket refunds until Feb 24

Disgruntled France and Ireland rugby fans have until February 24 to claim their money back for tickets to the Six Nations match that was postponed from last weekend to March 4. The game was supposed to have been played on Saturday but English referee Dave Pearson was forced to postpone the match minutes before the kick-off because parts of the Stade de France pitch were frozen and posed a danger to players. Dubbing "very regrettable" the postponement that "left thousands of supporters disappointed and frustrated", the Six Nations Council said Tuesday that the game would now kick off at 1500GMT on Sunday, March 4. Should fans who bought tickets wish to attend the rescheduled match in Paris, their previous ticket will guarantee entry, the French Rugby Federation (FFR) said Wednesday.
