Extra security measures will be implemented at the Stade de France for next month's Six Nations matches following the terrorist attacks on Paris last year.
The stadium was targeted during a football friendly between France and Germany on November 13, followed by suicide bombings and mass shootings at cafes, restaurants and a music venue in the capital which killed 130 people and injured almost 400 others.
The attacks were the deadliest on France since World War II, and the deadliest in the European Union since the Madrid train bombings in 2004.
The French Rugby Federation says "very strict controls", including body and bag checks, will be operated before France's home matches at the stadium.
To ensure the controls are as efficient as possible, the FFR wants ticket-holders to arrive early and without big items such as backpacks or motorbike helmets that will be put on hold.
France's first home match is on February 6 against Italy, but the 81,338 capacity stadium will also host Ireland and England before the tournament is up.
The country remains on high alert since the January 2015 attacks on Charlie Hebdo offices and a Jewish supermarket in Paris that killed 17 people and wounded 22, including civilians and police officers.
