“This merely serves to demonstrate the tremendous loyalty of the Welsh fans in getting behind their team,” said WRU Chief Executive Steve Lewis. “Last season they had a Grand Slam to celebrate and, although there have been defeats this Championship against England and Ireland, this sell out for the Azzurri confirms that Wales really have got the best fans in the world.”
The final RBS Six Nations match, against France on 18th March, is already a sell out meaning over 222,000 fans will have watched RBS Six Nations matches at the Millennium Stadium this season; an impressive 100% occupancy for Wales’s Home Championship matches.
