Record crowds flood Paris match
French club rugby set a national crowd
record for a regular-season match in
any sport as Stade Francais beat
Toulouse at the Stade de France.
The stadium was packed with 79,454
people, beating the previous mark held
by Olympique Marseille of 57,603 fans
for a football match in 1998.
French rugby has seen a 23% rise in
crowds so far this season.
The Paris team won 29-15, scoring two
tries through hooker Dimitri Szarzewski
and prop Pieter de Villiers.
