Fans react after finding out Italy v England will play in empty stadium

All Italian sporting fixtures – including the country’s Six Nations clash against England – will be played behind-closed-doors until at least April 3 due to the coronavirus.

Centre: Brian O’Driscoll (Ireland) – 21,392

Winger: Tommy Bowe (Ireland) – 5,793
