After the puzzle to discover the various responsibilities in the case of the cluster of the XV of France, place to that of the reprogramming of the France-Scotland match, initially planned last Sunday but postponed because of the avalanche of cases of Covid- 19 in the ranks of the Blues.
According to information from
L'Equipe
, this match counting for the third day of the VI Nations tournament could finally take place on Thursday, March 25.
But if the positions of the FFR and the League have come together on this point at a new meeting on Monday, the Scottish federation must also accept this date.
And France-Ukraine, then?
Another sticking point, when we take a look at the football calendar: the French team of Didier Deschamps booked his evening at the Stade de France the day before, March 24, on the occasion of the reception of Ukraine as part of the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup. Having two French teams play on the same lawn with only 24 hour intervals seems unwise at first glance.
We can bet that the thinking heads of football and rugby federations have taken this important detail into account.
