France call off Ireland game

Saturday, February 11, 2012 - 07:54 PM

Ireland’s RBS 6 Nations clash with France tonight has been postponed due to the weather conditions in Paris.

The Stade de France passed an initial pitch inspection by referee Dave Pearson, only for the official to reverse his decision 10 minutes before the scheduled 8pm Irish Time kick off time.

Paris has been gripped by sub-zero temperatures with the Stade de France forecast to plummet to minus eight by half-time.
