Rugby administrators worldwide are nearing an agreement on a new rugby union calendar, which will come into effect after the World Cup in 2019.
It has been learned there will be fewer international matches, with summer tours set to be scrapped at least once per four-year cycle.
The Six Nations will not move from its traditional February to March slot.
The British and Irish Lions series and the World Cup will retain their places in the calendar.
The Lions are set to tour in July and August in 2021.
