Italy will play next year's home Six Nations matches at Rome's Stadio Flaminio despite rebuilding work, the Italian Rugby Federation has confirmed.

The possibility of the games being played elsewhere was raised at the weekend after Federation president Giancarlo Dondi said he was concerned that reconstruction had been delayed.

"The worries that I expressed were relative to the potential delay in the modernisation of the inner structures of the Stadio Flaminio," Doni explained.

"I confirm that the ground will remain the venue for our national team's matches in the Six Nations."
