Gloucester’s rugby season has been put on hold due to the coronavirus outbreak.

A statement issued by Premiership Rugby said: “We are sorry to tell our fans that we will be postponing our season for five weeks, in line with the advice of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, which confirmed that the Government would no longer support mass gatherings.

“The safety of our fans and staff is our first priority, and we would like to wish all of those who are affected our heartfelt best wishes and a very speedy recovery.

“We’ll continue to work closely with DCMS and Public Health England, and to follow the advice of medical experts, and work with our clubs to help them to support their own wider communities at this time.”

The Rugby Football Union, meanwhile, has suspended all levels of the game in England until 14th April because of coronavirus.
