Oceania Rugby Men’s XV Championships cancelled

The Oceania Rugby Men’s XV Championships to be staged in August this year in Papua New Guinea, has now been cancelled.

This is due to COVID-19.

Oceania Rugby says continued travel and quarantine restrictions remains a player welfare concern for teams across the region which ultimately led to this decision.

In consideration of the dynamic and ongoing situation regarding the pandemic, the World Rugby U20 Trophy has also been cancelled in September due to continued uncertainty surrounding international travel.
