Rugby. The XV of France welcomes Scotland on behalf of the third day of the VI Nations. After his first defeat in more than a year two weeks ago against Ireland, the Blues will have to reassure themselves against the XV of the thistle. With one goal in mind: keep hope alive to win the tournament. Fabien Galthier’s men will have a lot to do, as the Scots have impressed since the start of the competition (second, two wins in as many games).

Soccer. Less than three weeks after bringing down Paris SG in the Coupe de France, a first for twelve years at the Vélodrome, OM dream of achieving the same feat on Sunday in Ligue 1 and thus maintaining the hope of a title, even if the presence of Kylian Mbappé on the Parisian side fundamentally changes the situation.

Elections. Djibouti, a small strategic country in the Horn of Africa, awaits the results of the legislative elections, which are without suspense, but amid questions about the succession of the president in power since 1999. The main opposition parties have boycotted this election, which must designate the 65 deputies of the National Assembly – 58 of whom are currently from the powerful party in power, the Union for the Presidential Majority (UMP). The only party to present itself in the six constituencies of this country of less than one million inhabitants, it is sure to win the majority again. Facing him, the Union for Democracy and Justice (UDJ), currently five seats, is competing in two constituencies.
