World Rugby announces calendar for Six Nations and autumn internationals

They also revealed plans for a six-week Rugby Championship to run between November 7 and December 12

The temporary international calendar recommended by World Rugby makes room for both the Six Nations and autumn internationals.

Ireland’s international rugby season looks set to resume following World Rugby’s decision to recommend a revised 2020 Test calendar for this autumn.

Both the men’s and women’s Six Nations championships were cut short as the Covid-19 pandemic forced rugby to shut down across the world in March with Ireland unable to play their home fixtures against Italy nor travel to France for the final round of matches.
