Photo by Seb Daly/SportsfileSix Nations organisers have dampened speculation that the tournament could be moved to the summer to allow for the potential of crowds to return to stadia. The tournament is due to begin on February 6, with Ireland set to face Wales in Cardiff the following day. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the entire rugby calendar, the Six Nations organisers hope to continue with their plans for the tournament to kick off in just under five weeks. The Lions committee, along with the South African union, are set to make a decision about this summer's tour in the coming weeks.
