Looking like France C to play the Sweaties

[tc27]

A member of the French team has tested positive and the squad is isolation.

Even before this it had the hint of a non vintage year.

[Torquemada 1420]

Ironically, it's Galthie. The test appears inconclusive and so another is being done. All players tested -ve but, of course, are now all in isolation.

Oh bollocks

Great Picture from this morning

Bloody lucky this has happened on a fallow weekend

[laurent]

Well they were going to break the buble now they need to isolate ...

[And 1 guest]

We'll take a 28-0 win.

I speak in jest, I hope everyone is fine and this 6 nations continues to live up to a great couple of weekends.

That you Mrs JMK?

[JM2K6]

Huh?

[charltom]

I hope England's bubble has been very strictly adhered to between matches, given what I've heard about children testing positive. Poor things.

This contamination is likely to become something big.

Galthie, Servat and member of the staff are positive. A number of players had small viral loads meaning they have been contaminated but the virus hasn't developed enough to trigger the tests.

They now know the origin of this contamination. Galthie brought in the Sevens players to take part in training with the XV squad. We now know that at least 6 of these players are positive and France Sevens just pulled out of the Madrid tournament.

This is a total mess. This also means France did not respect the "closed bubble" concept... and France may have contaminated Ireland for good measures...

[Jock42]

Who has respected the "closed bubble concept"? Several players trained with Scotland then played for their clubs before turning out v England

Who the F... wrote that ?

So far after the 3rd test, none of the EDF players have been tested positive On the radio they said that it might be the 7 players who contaminated Galthié.

[Sandstorm]

Galthie’ is an arrogant twat. No shock he broke rules to do what he wanted.

No further positive test in 15 squad (I believe they are tested every 2 days) however the 7 squad is forfeit for a 7's tournament in Spain.

The French management showing it's ineptitude (Serge Simon) they have Marcoussis to isolate easily but no we go in alpes maritimes (Currently the worse affected covid area in France).

And then Screw up the bubble by bringing the 7's squad into the fold...

Don’t know who had the idea to bring the 7 guys, but he deserves the Darwin Award.

Lol, I’ve not been there once since NPR started, but I guess it might be thefrog, the “French” who always starts some type of scoops or controversies when it comes to French rugby, cycling etc...

Spot on!!!
You haven't missed much. A lot of threads are virtually unreadable and even the interesting ones seem to descend into rabid shit fights

[laurent]

Dupont Positive More than half the squad test left (11 in the clear)

6 Nations title in serious trouble

Looks Like the Covid Manager (Serge Simon) did a great job.

[Marylandolorian]

Serin will do.

[laurent]

Serin will do.

If he has not got it, there is 2/3rd of the team results still missing

[Marylandolorian]

2 more, Haouas , the punching prop and Villière, wing. All the others were negative ... so far.

[laurent]

Nice little cluster in 2 3 days

[clive]

You have to question French management, what the hell are they doing , player welfare is more important than ever, I cannot see the match being played another time so if Scotland beat them, them due to disruption the RRFU are utter arseholes.

Dupont is your biggest loss, best player in the world right now.

[laurent]

5 More...

Midol has Peato Mauvaka, de Cyril Baille, de Romain Taofifenua, de Charles Ollivon et de Brice Dulin.

Serge Simon is a Genius...

[Slick]

This bloody thing is outrageous

[Tichtheid]

Serge Simon is a Genius...

A late recall to the squad?

He was Covid manager .
I don't believe he has practiced medecine in a long while and is likely as competent there as he was when performance manager.

Sorry, it was a poor attempt at levity on my part, it's a pretty shit situation.

FFR is Managed by cunts and a crook. So not much sympathy from me (just pissed off) PS surprised the French Sport minister has not even piped up.

[Margin__Walker]

No way this game would be going ahead in the Prem with so many positive cases in the squad. Will be interesting to see whether they call it here.

Would not in top 14 either 1-2 cases are enough to get postponment

This is shit. I hope all the players are OK and the game goes ahead.

Yep, which seems prudent. I just can't see it going ahead as it seems such a widespread outbreak. Must be similar to what happened to Fiji in the autumn.
