The Six Nations Tournament will host an eight-party "Nations Cup" between Nov. 13 and Dec. 6, with Georgia and Fiji as guest nations, the court said on Thursday.
This new tournament is divided into two pools: Group A with England, Ireland, Wales and Georgia;
the B with France, Scotland, Italy and Fiji.
The Blues will therefore face Wales, on October 24, in a preparation match, before hosting Ireland, the following week, at the Stade de France, to close the 2020 Six Nations Tournament.
After the Irish, Fabien Galthié's men will host Fiji on November 15, travel to Scotland on the 22nd and welcome Italy on the 28th.
This "Autumns Nations Cup 2020", as the competition is called, ends on the weekend of December 5 and 6 with a classification match.
