COVID-19 hits Irish headliner

BREAKING NEWS: Pro14’s return to action was dealt a blow by a COVID-19 outbreak in the Leinster camp.

The Round Nine Boxing Day fixture between Munster and Leinster has been postponed.

The game was due to take place on Saturday, December 26, in Limerick.

However, Leinster is currently investigating the outcomes of some of the results from their latest round of COVID-19 PRC testing.

Results of these investigations will not be returned in time to meet guidelines set by public health authorities in order for the game go ahead as planned.

Having considered this, the Pro14 medical advisory group has agreed that this fixture cannot go ahead as scheduled.

Pro14 will examine potential dates in early 2021 to reschedule the game.
