Coronavirus: 6 Nations committee, Italy-England is played

(ANSA-AFP) - PARIS, 02 MAR - The organizing committee of the Six Nations, meeting today in Paris to decide on the continuation of the tournament in light of the Coronavirus emergency, has decided that the scheduled games will be played regularly on the scheduled dates. "Unless the governments of the countries concerned do not intervene, an event that we must be prepared for," said a spokeswoman.
This means that, according to the Board, Italy-England of the 14th of March at the Olimpico in Rome will play, keeping in mind that for this match it is almost sold out, also due to the farewell to the blue of the captain Sergio Parisse and due to the presence announced (but now in doubt because of the virus) of twenty thousand British fans.
On the date on which Ireland-Italy will be recovered on Saturday, not played after the No of the Irish Ministry of Health, a decision has yet to be made. "But in the next two days there will be important government meetings in all the countries concerned, so let's see what comes out of it," said the spokeswoman. (ANSA-AFP).
