In light of the postponement of two Six Nations fixtures, what advice has the Welsh Government given to the WRU and tournament organisers in relation to the Wales versus Scotland fixture set to be hosted in Cardiff on Saturday 14 March 2020?

Answered by Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism | Answered on 20/03/2020

The Welsh Government continues to work closely with Public Health Wales, the NHS and other public sector bodies to ensure we provide appropriate advice as a result of the Coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak.  

Prior to the Wales versus Scotland game my officials forwarded the latest advice to the WRU and as you are aware the WRU made the decision to postpone the fixture.
