The ticket inspectors have got their work cut out for them.
There are a staggering number of Ireland fans making their way from England to Wales to watch Ireland’s Pool D crunch match with France.
These are pictures of the queues at Paddington Station this morning.
And it looks like supporters travelling from Bristol have had the worst of it after a Cardiff-bound train broke down, delaying all subsequent departures.

Chaos at Bristol railway station apparently. Run out of trains, upwards of 7,000 Cardiff-bound fans stranded. Tempers flaring.

Currently on a broken down train midway between Bristol and Cardiff. Let's hope this isn't a metaphor for the rugby. #IrevsFra

So anyone on a train from south of Cardiff (aka London and Bristol) is stuck behind a broken down train, bad times #FRAvIRE

We hope that everyone makes it to the Millennium Stadium safe and sound… and before 4.45.
