Hogg: A five-week Six Nations would be impossible

Reported plans to condense the Six Nations into five consecutive weeks from 2020 would be "impossible" for players, according to Scotland full-back Stuart Hogg.

Hogg believes the physicality of rugby means playing on a weekly-basis would be too much.

“I think for myself it’s pretty much impossible. The injuries that happen in test matches, the physicality that goes on in the game of rugby nowadays – for that to be on a weekly basis, for me, is pretty much impossible," he told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 live Sport.

From Scotland scrum-half Rory Lawson added: “I bumped into an old physio of mine and he said any claims you can condense it into five weeks is madness.’â€
