All parties had agreed for a long time, the date was known to everyone, but the formalization fell only this Thursday evening.

The France-Scotland match, which was initially scheduled to take place on February 28, postponed due to a cluster of Covid-19 within the XV of France, is therefore set for Friday March 26 (9 p.m.) at the Stade de France.

This will be the last round of this Six Nations Tournament, six days after the final day, this Saturday.

Fabien Galthié's players, who host the Welsh in Saint-Denis (9 p.m.), can still hope to win the competition.

To do this, they need to dominate Wales, already victorious over Ireland (21-16), Scotland (25-24), England (40-24) and Italy (48-7), with the bonus if possible, then win in front of the Scots.

The Blues, beaten on the edge in England last Saturday (23-20), will also have to forget the incredible episode of the bubble breakthrough in Marcoussis, their training center in Essonne.

Twelve players including Antoine Dupont, captain Charles Ollivon and five members of the management including coach Fabien Galthié had tested positive for the English variant of the virus, after some largesse taken with the imposed health protocol.
