LONDON (Reuters) - England's Rugby Football Union (RFU) and Wales' governing body (WRU) on Friday confirmed the end of the 2019-20 season for all league, cup and county rugby due to the coronavirus pandemic but the English Premiership has been excluded.
The RFU earlier this week suspended all rugby activity until April 14 while the Premiership halted the season for five weeks after the British government advised against mass gatherings that required the presence of emergency workers.
