If a decision will be made by the Six Nations Committee on whether or not France-Scotland will be held on Sunday at the Stade de France (4 p.m.), the visitors have indicated that they will push for the match to be held, despite of the cluster established within the XV of France.
"The Scottish national team continues its preparatory work for the match against France in Paris on Sunday," the Scottish Federation assured on its Twitter account.
Our players, coaches and supporters hope that the match can go on according to the schedule foreseen by the Tournament. ”
While five new French players have tested positive for Covid-19, the XV du Chardon intends to push for the maintenance of the meeting due to the agreement made with the clubs on the release of the players "Any postponement would jeopardize the agreement with the clubs on the release of players, explains the federation.
Thus, more than ten players would be ineligible in the event of a possible postponement.
We will work closely with our Six Nations counterparts to ensure that this match is held this week, as long as the health situation permits. ”
