    Ireland's Six Nations rugby match against Italy to go ahead this weekend despite Covid-19 restrictions

    Ireland's rescheduled Six Nations rugby match against Italy will go ahead in Dublin this weekend, despite the country moving to the highest level of Covid-19 restrictions


    Elite sport behind closed doors has been exempted from the new level five rules, which come into force on Thursday for a period of six weeks in the wake of rising cases.

    The original match in March was one of the first fixtures to be cancelled in Ireland as Covid-19 took hold.
