The Women’s Six Nations fixture between Italy and Wales is to be rearranged due to the funeral of Pope Francis.

The two teams were due to meet in Parma at lunchtime on Saturday, 26 April in the final round of the tournament.

But the Vatican has announced the Pope’s funeral will take place at 10:00 local time (09:00 BST) that day.

Tournament organisers have yet to confirm when – or where – the game will now go ahead.

Friday evening and Sunday are being considered as options though Italy’s government has declared five days of national mourning up to the funeral on Saturday.
