Major League Rugby has suspended operations league-wide for 30 days with immediate effect. The decision follows that of several sporting organizations – the NBA, NHL, and MLB – to help slow the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). It’s hoped that fixtures affected will be rescheduled once play resumes.
