The Pro 14 rugby, the championship between the Irish, Welsh, Scottish provinces, as well as two Italian teams and two South African franchises, was Thursday evening "suspended for an indefinite period" and the final, scheduled for June, canceled . "The Celtic Rugby board of directors met by teleconference this week and agreed on a strict list of criteria that would allow the championship to resume," the organizers said in a statement. No decision concerning a resumption date can be taken until four key criteria are not met in our respective territories: that the public health authorities stop prohibiting the practice of sport and group training, that the travel restrictions between our countries be lifted; no containment or quarantine measures are no longer in force; that the players' health is preserved, including by an appropriate preparation period before the resumption of competition. " The board of directors has decided to cancel the PRO 14 final, which was to take place on June 20 in Cardiff. "If a winner is to be announced this season, it will be at the top of the ranking when the competition ends." At the moment, it would be the Irish province of Leinster which, after 13 days, is largely at the head of Conference A with 61 points (20 ahead of its dolphin, Ulster) when Edinburgh leads Conference B with only 47 points (2 more than Munster, second).
Our season has been suspended indefinitely and the 2020 Final will now not take place in Cardiff.
