look to rearrange this game if they can. let's say france do have an outbreak and they're not able to play against scotland. the plan would be to play the game the week and after because there's another week after round three. whether it will have repercussions for the ireland national team will have to wait and see. we have to see how the contact tracing pans out and there were some pictures from inside the french changing room of them celebrating and close proximity, which is probably ill advised and probably noticed by organisers. at the friends are going to put in a very regular test now —— the french. it's probably the beginning of next week where we get a good idea whether this is just a week where we get a good idea whether this isjust a couple week where we get a good idea whether this is just a couple of coaches that will be off duty for seven days or whether it's something far more serious.— far more serious. chris, many thanks indeed for that. _ far more serious. chris, many thanks indeed for that. i _ far more serious. chris, many thanks indeed for that. i hope _ far more serious. chris, many thanks indeed for that. i hope so _ far more serious. chris, many thanks indeed for that. i hope so after -

disgusting. i'm sick of it now because nothing gets done. it's about time these people are named, shamed and dealt with by the police or the courts, because itjust totally unacceptable. it's almost as if it's it's almost as if your own personal thoughts can be put on a public platform. maybe you've had a few drinks and you don't mean it, but it's out there. it's got to come to a head. the chelsea defender fikayo tomoroi, currently on loan with ac milan, has added his voice to the growing calls for social media companies to act. his chelsea team mates reece james and antonio rudiger are just two of several players who've been the subject of racist abuse. facebook, which owns instagram, recently announced new measures to ban users who repeatedly abuse others, but he says that's just the start of what's needed.
