Six Nations organisers have confirmed that the women's and under-20's matches between France and Ireland this weekend have now been postponed.

It follows the men's game falling yesterday and organisers says it's of "upmost importance" to get the games rescheduled later this year.

"Six Nations can now confirm that the Women and U20 matches between the two countries have also been postponed," they confirmed in a statement.

"The Wales V Scotland Guinness Six Nations and U20 matches will go ahead as scheduled.

Discussions with Unions and Federations are ongoing as it is of the utmost importance to find suitable dates for rescheduled matches while respecting the values and integrity of our Championship."

Yesterday Ireland 20s boss Noel McNamara said they're willing to wait in their bid to make it back-to-back Grand Slam titles:

“We are still looking forward to finishing the championship. For us it is about continuously improving, trying to work hard and find that improvement.

“For us I think it is important to state, yes it’s disappointing but it is no more than that. The reality is that the health and safety of the public is paramount and that has to be the number one priority."

Munster's upcoming Guinness PRO14 match against Benetton at Cork's Irish Independent Park on March 27th has also been postponed.

Everyone’s in the Team Of Us.
