Anxious wait for teams

-

Rugby: France and Scotland will learn tomorrow the fate of their Six Nations match scheduled this weekend after a coronaviru­s outbreak in the French squad.

The Six Nations testing oversight group reviewed the outbreak yesterday which has revealed positive tests by 10 players and three staff members.

The group said it will reconvene tomorrow to decide whether the match will proceed on Monday in Paris.

If not, it will probably be postponed for a week.

Scotland said a delay could affect the availabili­ty of more than 10 of its players, due to release agreement in place with clubs.

The 10 affected players have left the team's base in Marcoussis and are out of the match on Monday.
