Answer 9

When I went to a full Twickenham stadium (capacty 80 000) for an England international, 3 police officers on horses was all that was required to stop all the fans in one place as they were leaving before the road could be closed to allow. One had a megaphone and was politely asking everyone to wait a while and they all did. When he repeated the request in Italien he got a massive cheer from everyone impressed by his linguistic skills. In rugby union games fans aren't even segregated, its great having a little friendly banter with the other fans. A couple of memorable quotes from English fans to Italien fans on that day were

"Oh well nice to meet you-good luck anyway (quitely to his mate) you'll need it".

and

"We love your national anthem, its so much better than ours!"
