Italy to play Six Nations at Stadio Flaminio

Italy will play next year's home Six Nations matches at the Stadio Flaminio in Rome, despite fears that reconstruction work has fallen behind schedule.

The Italian Rugby Federation said that despite work continuing on the stadium, games would not be played elsewhere.

"The worries that I expressed were relative to the potential delay in the modernisation of the inner structures of the Stadio Flaminio," said Federation president Giancarlo Dondi.
