Rugby Suspended

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The Rugby Football Union has suspended all levels of the game in England until 14 April because of coronavirus.
The announcement came soon after the Premiership was halted for five weeks.
The RFU said all activity, including club training, league and cup matches, and rugby education courses, should be stopped.
The quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup and Challenge Cup, scheduled for 3, 4 and 5 April, have also been postponed.
The Pro14 and Top 14 leagues were suspended indefinitely last week.
No surprise considering the current situation regarding the spread of the virus across the country. I suspect that many clubs will have now played their last game of the season unless there is a dramatic improvement over the next 4 weeks.
