Pro14 season suspended indefinitely due to Covid-19 outbreak

The suspension of the 2019/20 season of the Pro14 is now on an indefinite basis due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

The Cheetahs and the Southern Kings are the two South African teams currently participating in the Pro14.

The board of Celtic Rugby said in a statement: “Proposals regarding how to restart the season will be reviewed in the near future. Pro14 Rugby is working with key stakeholders to carefully examine several proposals that can be implemented and delivered in order to close out the season – albeit at a later date.

“Should any final played as part of the 2019/20 season will be hosted by the team with highest ranking based upon league records from this campaign.

“Everyone across the Guinness Pro14 would urge fans and everyone involved in the sport of rugby to heed the directions from their local health authorities regarding the Covid-19 outbreak and play their part in staying safe.”
