Two staff members of the French rugby team have tested positive, and one of them is head coach Fabien Galthié!

The players have so far all tested negative, but will again be tested on Wednesday and Friday (local time).

Galthié positif à la Covid-19 !

XV DE FRANCE - Après avoir annoncé ce mardi "un cas suspicieux et non avéré concernant Fabien Galthié qui sera retesté ce matin" la FFR confirme que le sélectionneur du XV de France est bien positif à la Covid-19.

So only England need crowds, Obvs didn't effect Sco or Italy.

Why wouldn't he want to play for Tonga, he could do that straight away.

[Stargazer]

@nepia Yeah, I was wondering about that, too. He's still 4 of the 5 years to go on his residency. He'll be 29 when he becomes eligible for Japan.

@nepia $ $ $ ¥ ¥ ¥

BUt otherwise yep, odd decision.

Had high hopes for him as a player when he was in the U21s!

REPORT: Five France players now ruled out as two more test positive

Two more French players have tested positive for C-19, bringing to 5 the number set to miss their Six Nations fixture with Scotland.

[Machpants]

@stargazer Considering France almost managed to beat Eng late last year with 14 or 15 of their starting 15 not available due to French Club Rugby, I still think they’ll beat Sco
