Six Nations committee set new dates
March 14, 2001
In a move that is sure to anger the English clubs the Six Nations committee have issued a statement detailing the new dates of the postponed Lloyds/TSB Six Nations matches. The game between Ireland and England is now set to be played on the same day as the Zurich Premiership play-off semi finals and is bound to create a club v country collision course.
Although the statement sets out dates and kick off times for the three games there is a proviso that relates to Irish Government concerns over the control of the present epidemic. The announcement also reiterated the Committee's insistence that this seasons Six Nations would be completed but stated that regular meetings will continue "to monitor changing circumstances and their possible impact on the current arrangements for the remaining 6 Nations matches." |
