Six Nations dismiss talk of 'Four Nations'

Six Nations tournament organisers this evening issued a statement to deny a report on a potential ‘contingency plan’ for Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales this autumn.

The Rugby Paper had reported that English and Welsh unions had backed a move to play an ‘emergency Four Nations‘ in October and November, to cushion any loss of November Tests, with France and Italy excluded due to ‘travel and quarantine issues’.
