Ireland players huddle up at the end of the Six Nations match against England.
The other matches with Italy teams that weekend – the U-20s and women’s internationals – have also been postponed. The IRFU added they would be looking to reschedule the games. Cancellation would cost millions of lost euros, not just to the IRFU, but also to the hospitality industry.Harris welcomed the IRFU’s decision by telling the BBC: “I very much appreciate the importance that they too attach to public health.”
“We will be holding further discussions with all six Unions with respect to the rescheduling options for all the affected games, factoring in the current dynamic situation,” organisers added.
