A Welsh pub decided to ban English fans but decided to reverse its decision. A leading law firm believes the match between England and Wales will see many people cross boundaries. Cardiff's O'Neills banned English fans from the match in which Wales will be eliminated if it does not win. The St Mary Street and Wood Street pub are popular and part of the Cardiff nightlife heart. The pub decided to house only Welsh supporters due to the excitement and passion for the match on the show. It wanted to keep the comfort and safety of all its guests and team. It is why they decided to ban the English supporters. They said they would only allow the Welsh supporters and try to contain any adverse situation. The pub said it wants everyone to be safe, and looking at the passion and support for this match can result in dangerous situations. However, the pub tweeted with a u-turn and said it would welcome both fans.
