"Six years ago, the Irish Government refused to allow teams to travel to or from the British mainland (hardly a "mainland" ), fearing the disease might spread to the island republic.

The French Government might opt for the same drastic measure given that tens of thousands of unmonitored fans will follow the teams across the English Channel and back."

So does that mean that Wales, England and Scotland wouldn't be allowed into France either....bummer
