The latest diagnoses bring to fourteen the number of positive cases among players and management in the last week.

Captain Charles Ollivon - who was among the try scorers in Les Bleus' win against Ireland - and Man of the Match in Dublin Brice Dulin are among the latest group of five to test positive.

In total, nine of the twenty-three players who lined out versus Ireland have since contracted coronavirus.
