- Date still not set for start of 2021 Women’s Six Nations
- Premiership avoids more cancellations despite rise in cases
The Women’s Six Nations is in doubt because of the rising number of Covid-19 infections, but the Premiership has avoided more cancellations this weekend despite 16 more players testing positive.
No date has been set for the start of this year’s Women’s Six Nations, in which most of the players, apart from England’s, are amateur or semi-professional. The men’s tournament kicks off on 6 February and the women’s World Cup is due to start in September with Ireland, Scotland and Italy yet to qualify.
