Looking even shakier, France24 reporting:
Quote
The French government has admitted that current restrictions designed to contain the spread of #coronavirus are not enough, raising the prospect of a 3rd nationwide #lockdown.

Not a surprise. The info that is coming back from my friends and neighbours over there suggests that the French covid protocols are not working.

This is the rolling timeline of how things have evolved out there. One thing to note is that their schools started again in early Jan.

Hopefully the fixtures sec is lining up an alternative opportunity. Perhaps Georgia would like to join in. I would have said SA, but they’ve got their own COVID challenges at the mo.

Yes brother in law in South France saying it is a shambles and a bit of anti English political comment - locals fine though.

Now the French have closed their borders. Interesting to see what happens now. No mention of "Bubbles" just essential. Does rugby = essential.
