The Round 3 Guinness Six Nations clash between France and Scotland has been postponed from its original date of Sunday, February 28th.

This decision has been taken on the unanimous advice of the Six Nations Testing Oversight Group.

A Six Nations Rugby official statement said: “The Six Nations Testing Oversight Group (TOG) met today to review the situation in the French Camp.

“They unanimously recommended the postponement of the France v Scotland match. This will be ratified later today by the Six Nations Council.

“We will be working on the rescheduling of this fixture and will communicate the date in due course.”

France have won their first two games in the 2021 Guinness Six Nations and currently top the table, while Scotland were beaten at home by Wales in Round 2 after their opening victory away to champions England.

Elsewhere in Round 3 this weekend, Ireland travel to Rome to take on Italy while later on Saturday unbeaten Wales will host defending champions England in Cardiff.
