Something must've gone seriously wrong with the bubble, as either players or members of the coaching side have been in contact with the outside world without taking necessary precautions.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 10:45 am https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/56154026
5 more French players have tested positive
The new players that have been brought in are good but won't have been involved in the day to day squad training, so a postponement until the following weekend would seem to be the best option.

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Is there a rest weekend next week? If so for the integrity of the tournament I would postpone the French fixture to next weekend, might have to change the referees but it's not an impossible task in my book.

Latest PCR testing results on French squad: https://twitter.com/francerugby/status/ ... 13696?s=21
Update on the health situation
Following the RT-PCR tests carried out last night, all of the players and management [that aren’t isolating] tested negative for Covid-19.
Fingers Crossed, that’s the outbreak controlled.

Nice to see Curry offering George Martin some 1-1 advice during the latest O2 Inside Line episode, really think he's going to come back to us a better player

Yeah that was class from Curry, already has become a leader within the England squad. It beggars belief that this summer will be 4 years since his first cap versus Argentina, time does fly.

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
So the France v Scotland games is to go ahead on Sunday, which has to be the correct decision.
This could be the French starting XV:
Bouthier; Penaud, Fickou, Danty, Thomas; Jalibert, Serin; Jelonch, Alldritt, Cretin; Willemse, Le Roux; Bamba, Bougarit, Kolingar
Ok, so they're missing some regulars, but that's a very good side that should be too strong for Scotland.
