Rugby, fir cancels tour of New Zealand – sport – other sports

Bologna, May 10, 2021 – No summer double confrontation with All blacks for every Italy Rugby. The federation has announced and formalized the cancellation of its planned summer tour in New Zealand, originally slated for 3 and 10 July. The decision was made after necessary consultations with World Rugby, New Zealand Federugby, and the government and health authorities of the two countries. Alternatives have been explored but practically nothing in the summer.

Double comparison in the fall?

“Even in rugby today, the summer rides still represent a precious human and sporting adventure – in the words of Federal President Marzio. Innocent A tour in New Zealand, and the ability to challenge the All Blacks team in two consecutive test matches, is the ambition of every player, but we had to notice, despite ourselves and our deep regrets, how the current circumstances made it better for the team to focus its energies in light of the autumn series. The international calendar for 2021 will allow us to welcome the first Blacks in our country next fall. “
