As fears hung over the next Six Nations Tournament due to the worsening health crisis in the UK, the 2021 edition of the northern hemisphere's flagship competition is expected to take place, according to reports by
Midi Olympique
.
"So far, there is no postponement considered, advance Bernard Laporte, president of the FFR.
We will therefore operate as we did during the Fall Nations Cup, presenting a negative test dating back 72 hours when crossing the border.
Simply, what will change from the fall is that we may also need a negative test to come back home.
We'll see.
Either way, it is vital that the Tournament is contested. ”
Benjamin Morel, director of the Six Nations Tournament, confirms it to our colleagues: “If there is a border closure for everyone, that will obviously be a problem.
But for now, the world of professional sport remains unaffected by travel restrictions and therefore, as it stands, the Six Nations Tournament will start well in early February. "
