DUBLIN - World Rugby on Wednesday proposed a temporary international calendar during which the 2020 Six Nations would be completed and the Rugby Championship staged.
"In the north, this window will accommodate the postponed men's and women's Six Nations matches at the end of October, a rest weekend on Nov 7 and a programme of international matches involving the Six Nations and invited teams hosted in Europe from Nov 14 through to Dec 5," it said in a statement. World Rugby is proposing the southern hemisphere Rugby Championship - involving world champions South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Argentina - is held over a six-week spell after the Six Nations ends.
"With Covid-19 restrictions continuing to impact international travel and borders across southern hemisphere unions, on an exceptional basis the Rugby Championship 2020 will be hosted in full in a single country over a reduced six-week period between Nov 7 and Dec 12," the statement added.
