Jacques Rivoal, president of the organizing committee for the 2023 Rugby World Cup, said on Monday March 27 that he hoped that the social climate around the pension reform would be “ appeased by the start of the competition, which will take place in France from September 8 to October 28. ” We are preparing for a World Cup, we have to take into account our environment, but we are confident that people will meet to celebrate for two months. “, declared Jacques Rivoal, indicating that his teams were working “ very closely with state services » in terms of security and mobility, without being overly alarmed. ” We are not very worried, especially since in rugby, to my knowledge, there has not been a single match with overflows “, he underlined.
