The Minister for Sports, Roxana Maracineanu, on Friday put pressure on the French Rugby Federation (FFR), urged to explain the cascade of Covid-19 contaminations within the XV of France, which resulted in the cancellation on Thursday of the match against Scotland initially scheduled for Sunday.
"If nothing ever happens, if we don't look for this chain of contaminations and explain to us how it could have happened, then the authorization that was given (
to play the Six Nations Tournament
) can be withdrawn, the minister warned on La Chaine L'Equipe.
We asked for this investigation (Thursday) to the FFR and to Bernard Laporte, who himself came to see us before the Tournament to present us the protocol and tell us that everything was going to be fine.
Now that we see that this is not the case, I am waiting for him to come and explain what happened to us. "
Before adding, very annoyed: “I don't think it was marked in the protocol that the players could go out to eat waffles.
Or, if they go out to eat waffles, they had to be retested when they re-entered the bubble in contact with others. "
