  • The French rugby union federation on Tuesday streamlined its third division, creating a single pool of 14 teams in the hope it offers clubs the chance to get on a proper footing before venturing into the professional leagues. The third division, which will be called la Nationale, was previously the Federale 1 and comprised an unwieldly 48 teams divided into four pools of 12. The new Nationale represented a "real anteroom for the professional divisions... a springboard towards the elite", the federation said in reference to the Top 14 and the second division ProD2. The Nationale is scheduled to start on September 12-13 and run until April 24-25, with play-offs for promotion into the ProD2 in May culminating in a final on May 29-30. Albi, Dax, Massy, Nice, Tarbes, Suresnes, Blagnac, Aubenas, Narbonne, Bourgoin, Dijon, Chambery, Bourg-en-Bresse and Cognac will make up the new division between Federale 1 and the ProD2. The federation added that it had estimated that its 2020-21 budget would run at a loss of 5.63 million euros ($6.34m), notably because of funds diverted to help clubs during the coronavirus pandemic which has seen the French rugby season scrapped. Without that diversion of funds, the budget would have been 2.4m euros in the black, it added. "The FFR made the choice to come to the help of its network in a very difficult economic and social time," it said. mca/lp/mw/nr
