A date to reset in an already overloaded calendar.
The postponement of the France-Scotland match, scheduled for last Sunday at the Stade de France, leads to a new headache.
The track for a rescheduled match on Friday March 25 would be on track.
An agreement on this date would have been reached by the French Rugby Federation and the National Rugby League, according to RMC.
“We are in negotiations for this.
I have no comment to make, “kicked in touch Paul Goze, the president of the League, Wednesday.
The Six Nations Committee, organizer of the competition, and the Scottish Federation have yet to validate this new date.
But the English clubs, where thirteen Scottish internationals play, have agreed to release them on March 25.

Major problem for the French clubs: the delay of this match of the XV of France will lead to a new doubling during the 20th day of the Top 14. But, in return, the FFR authorized the players to play this weekend in the league (18th day).
Without satisfying the clubs who see it as a fool's bargain.
Players who test positive (12 in all!) Will logically not be able to play, due to lack of sufficient preparation.
It remains to be decided for all the players who have been qualified as a contact case.
"We, the clubs, are not at all masters of the game for our own players"
Bernard Lemaître
The president of RC Toulon, Bernard Lemaître, did not hide his anger: “It's junk and they know it very well, whether in the Federation or the League.
The situation in the France team is annoying and frustrating because there is the said and the unsaid.
We, the clubs, are not at all masters of the game for our own players.
Everyone has their truth, their protocol ... "
Clermont manager Franck Azéma has decided to do without Sébastien Bézy and Damian Penaud, in isolation since last Thursday, for Friday's trip to Montpellier.
Toulouse's Cyril Baille, Antoine Dupont, Julien Marchand and Peato Mauvaka, who had tested positive, will not be able to play.
Others, declared contact cases but tested negative, could, on the other hand, tread the lawns of the championship: Louis Carbonel (Toulon), Cameron Woki (UBB) or Anthony Jelonch (Castres).
Still, this surge in cases in Marcoussis and the postponement of the match against the XV du Chardon woke up the FFR-LNR tensions, already strong in the fall.
While the cases are rather well contained in the clubs, this cluster in Marcoussis has had the gift of irritating.
“There was probably some bullshit done, I don't know.
But one has the impression that one pays the broken pots ”, vituperated the manager of the Bordeaux club, Christophe Urios, not known for his proximity with Fabien Galthié.
