Despite the congested rugby calendar there has to be a conclusion to this fated Six Nations tournament, to divvy up the cash if nothing else
Rugby’s annus horribilis shows little obvious sign of easing. For the time being all roads no longer lead to Rome and the best scenario involves the Six Nations – both male and female – dribbling to a belated conclusion in the autumn. There are far more important things in life than a few postponed rugby matches but for the tournament organisers the problems are only just starting.
Things will be appreciably simpler should the other remaining fixtures, not least France v Ireland on Saturday week, take place as scheduled, but it might be wise not to bet the château on that just yet. The coronavirus outbreak, if nothing else, has once again shown how unfeasibly tight the rugby calendar has been allowed to become.
