PARIS: This weekend’s opening match of French rugby‘s Top 14 season featuring Stade Francais against Bordeaux-Begles has been postponed due to coronavirus, the league announced on Monday.
Paris-based Stade Francais recorded positive cases of the virus last month and had asked the league (LNR) to delay the fixture due to a lack of healthy front-rowers.
“Players’ health is the absolute priority,” the LNR said.
