Ireland's clash with France at the Aviva Stadium is set to go ahead as scheduled this Sunday. Ireland v France will go ahead on Sunday despite reports that the French team may fall outside the exemptions relating to professional sportspeople. The IRFU are unconcerned by reports that Sunday's match against France may be under threat due to the wording of new legislation around Covid-19. Some fear this may exclude the French players who are not IRFU employees. We look forward to welcoming the French players, who are also in a secure bubble, to Dublin this weekend," a spokesperson said.
