The new French Covid-19 vaccination stance is set to have an impact on the Six Nations, which gets under way next month.
The French Parliament have given the order for the country's health pass system to be converted into a vaccine pass, which means that anyone entering leisure, cultural and sports venues will have to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
The government has suggested that no exemptions would be granted to athletes located outside France, which could have an effect on both rugby union's Six Nations competition and European club competitions.
