RFU says it would lose £60m with no fans at Six NationsWales head coach: ‘Unions desperate for crowds to watch’The Six Nations countries are considering putting back the start of next year’s tournament because of the financial consequences of playing matches either behind closed doors or before small numbers of spectators when the unions are all making cutbacks enforced by the pandemic.
The Rugby
Football Union, which will host three matches in the 2021 tournament, says it would lose £60m if fans are locked out. Its Welsh,
Irish and Scottish counterparts are also fearful of how they would fund their community games if they went a year without receiving any income through the turnstiles.
