Mumps outbreak hits Brumbies ahead of Chiefs clash

(Reuters) - The ACT Brumbies' preparations for Saturday's Super Rugby match against Waikato Chiefs have been hampered by an outbreak of mumps, with several members of the organisation told not to travel for the clash in Hamilton.

Rugby Australia (RA) said in a statement that a small number of cases of the viral infection had been confirmed among Brumbies players and staff and that only those who were completely healthy had been given the green light to travel.
