CANCELLED | Another Autumn Nations Cup match has been called off

The organiser of the Autumn Nations Cup today announced the cancellation of the Italy v Fiji match due to take place on Saturday 21st November 2020 in Ancona.

The decision was taken after the latest round of COVID-19 tests undertaken yesterday by the Fijian team returned 29 positive cases this morning.

The Tournament organiser remains in constant contact with the Fijian squad to address the situation.

The main priority at present is the welfare of all players and management. The potential impact on Fiji’s remaining matches is currently under review.
