    Questions have been raised about compliance with a December 2020 Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling which bans Russia from competing as a nation with their symbols such as anthem and flag at major events for two years.



    The French rugby team's Covid-19 protocols will be strengthened, with players and staff forbidden from leaving their hotel ahead of Six Nations games after their dalliance with coronavirus.

    That means no more eating waffles in the streets of Rome.
