The IRFU has begun the process of refunding tickets for the two outstanding Six Nations fixtures against Italy and France. Provincial branches have outlined the process for refunds to clubs and their members, with that process set to get underway in the next few weeks. The move means the refixed matches look almost certain to take place in front of restricted crowds or behind closed doors when they are played. The refunds will come at a major cost to the IRFU which generates the majority of its income through revenue generated by the senior men's team's home matches. If the 2m limit remains in place, the Aviva Stadium capacity will be 8,400, while that rises to 18,200 if that limit is reduced to 1m.
