Ireland's Six Nations fixture against Italy in Dublin has been postponed until further notice due to the coronavirus outbreak in northern Italy, the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) has announced.
The match at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin -- originally scheduled for March 7 -- has been postponed, and the IRFU has said an announcement over further arrangements will be made in the next few days.
Here, RUCK looks at the reaction from social media.
