Italy’s Six Nations rugby match against England in Rome next week has been postponed amid fears over coronavirus outbreak
England's Anthony Watson and Manu Tuilagi during training for Rugby Union, Six Nations Championship, at Pennyhill Park Hotel, Bagshot, Britain on March 4, 2020.
The game had been due to be played without fans present after an Italian government ruling this week on all sports events but organisers decided to postpone the match. Italy’s game in Ireland this Saturday had already been postponed. “Based on the information that is currently available, all other Six Nations matches are set to go ahead as scheduled. As previously stated, Six Nations fully intends to complete all 15 games across all three championships when time allows.”There is no obvious date when the fixtures could be played, with a crowded club and international calendar rolling from the domestic season straight into southern hemisphere tours.
England’s Australian coach Eddie Jones held a news conference at the team’s training base on Thursday to announce his team for Saturday’s game against Wales but declined to say much about the postponement.
