Six Nations game rescheduled

The postponed Six Nations match between France and Ireland has been rescheduled for Sunday March 4th.

Rugby fans booking ferries from Rosslare to Cherbourg for the Stade to France clash will see the action kick off at 16:00 local time.

The game was called off at the last minute on Saturday (February 11th) due to the freezing weather in Paris, with referee Dave Pearson deciding that parts of the pitch were potentially dangerous to the players.

"We are delighted that we have agreed a new date and time for the RBS 6 Nations France versus Ireland match in the RBS 6 Nations window," said Six Nations chief executive John Feehan.

However, the Irish Rugby Football Union expressed disappointment with the rescheduled date.

It had wanted the game to be played on the afternoon of Saturday March 3rd instead, as this would provide the Ireland side with an extra day of rest before their next fixture.
