The XV of France will play its third match of the 2021 VI Nations Tournament on Sunday at the Stade de France.

The meeting was maintained by the Six Nations committee despite the Marcoussis cluster and the cascade of forfeits it engendered within the France team.

“Following a meeting of the Six Nations Test Monitoring Group (TOG) this (Wednesday) morning to review the latest test results for the France team, the Six Nations confirm their intention to host the match France-Scotland, as initially planned, next Sunday, ”the committee wrote in a statement.

No new cases for 48 hours

No new case of Covid-19 has been detected for 48 hours in the ranks of the XV of France where the PCR tests carried out Tuesday evening are negative.

Collective training was thus able to resume in Marcoussis.
