6 NATIONS 2021

[JP14]

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.

Who would be your captain? Le Roux, Serin?

Fickou!

I mean he is experienced, but a captain? I'm not so sure...

His name has been mentioned in Midi Olympique, but Serin is probably the one Galthié will choose.

Whilst grateful for any sport in these times , really hope that results and trophies are not determined by Covid....

[Robespierre]

It’s likely that Gregory Alldritt will be captain for the Scotland game.

Another case in France. The game may be off again:

A statement from the FFR read: "Following the RT-PCR tests carried out this Wednesday, February 24 in the evening and the appearance of a positive case within the squad of players, the FFR Medical Committee met this morning [Thursday] and decided to suspend training this day.

"The entire group is in isolation in accordance with health protocol. The FFR is in close contact with the Six Nations committee."

There will now be growing pressure on the Six Nations organisers to postpone the fixture and replay it during the fallow week next weekend.

That, however, creates problems for Scotland.

Due to World Rugby regulations around player release, Gregor Townsend could quite conceivably lose 10 players next weekend, all of whom would be required to return to their clubs in England and France if asked.

You've got to be kidding me!!

To say this is a most unfortunate situation is putting it mildly.
Whoever broke ranks within the bubble should be sent to the Guillotine!!

That's twice in a row that the French could have blown their chances of a Grand Slam all by themselves.

Saw somewhere on Twitter that it is “widely known to be” Galthie and that he was trying to blame the physio. Obviously don’t believe everything read on Twitter...
