To help fight the spread of the Covid-19 corona virus, the French Rugby Federation (FFR) has - with immediate effect - suspended all rugby competitions (at all levels) in France, including meetings and training sessions, and all activities of the Rugby Acedemies, until conditions improve and permit them to be resumed.
