Security has been upped ahead of the opening Rugby World Cup match in Paris.
More than 7000 Police officers will be on-site as the All Blacks play France tomorrow morning.
It's after chaos broke out after last year's Champions League football final at the Stade de France in Paris.
France Correspondent Catherine Field told Heather Du Plessis-Allan this is what France has to do.
“The Rugby World Cup – whilst this is what we’re all focusing on – the security forces are also using this as a test run for next year’s Olympic Games which are gonna be here.”
