The Six Nations Championship match between France and Scotland has been postponed.

The match - scheduled to take place at the Stade de France in Paris this Sunday - was under threat after an outbreak of Covid-19 in the France squad.

This morning an eleventh player tested positive for the virus leading to a cancellation of the squad's training session this morning.
