Coronavirus (Covid-19) Update

RFU Suspends All Rugby

Following government advice today, the RFU will suspend all rugby activity in England, at both professional and community level, including club training, league and cup matches plus rugby education courses from 17 March until 14 April subject to continued review.

The decision has been taken following government advice in the interests of players, coaches, referees, volunteers, supporters and the wider rugby union community.

Where possible, players at all levels are encouraged to maintain their own personal fitness and keep active during this time, while following government guidelines about safe distance and safe exercise environments.

The RFU will continue to review and monitor government advice and will provide detailed updates on the impact to the season in the coming weeks.

Note:

Having received the notification from the RFU this evening, the Cornish Pirates will be considering the same at an internal ‘meet’ to be held tomorrow. Following the meeting, a further update will then be released to keep supporters and everyone fully in the loop.
