France-Ireland, the last meeting of the Six Nations Tournament, scheduled for next Saturday at 9 p.m. at the Stade de France, has been postponed due to the epidemic of coronavirus that is raging in Europe. This final day has been postponed as a whole (Wales-Scotland, Italy-England) and should be contested next October, according to concordant sources.

The XV of France, beaten this Sunday at Murrayfield by Scotland (28-17), his first defeat in the competition, is still in the running for a victory in the Tournament. England and Ireland can also hope to win.

"Compared to the challenges we still have, replaying immediately against Ireland would be a blessing," dropped coach Fabien Galthié on Monday morning at a press conference, before learning about the postponement of the meeting.
