The French government has demanded to see England and Ireland's virus containment plans before it allows France to travel for Six Nations games.

French clubs have been barred from taking part in European competition this month because of fears over the spread of coronavirus.

"We absolutely need the necessary guarantees from these countries," said sports minister Roxana Maracineanu.

"Other nations' virus framework must respect the same requirements."

The French government has given the go-ahead to France's opening fixture against Italy in Rome on 6 February.
