The Rugby Football Union has suspended all levels of the game in England until 14th April because of coronavirus.

The announcement came soon after the Premiership was halted for five weeks.

They say all activity, including club training, league and cup matches, and rugby education courses, should be stopped.

The quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup and Challenge Cup, scheduled for 3, 4 and 5 April, have also been postponed.

The Pro14 and Top 14 leagues were suspended indefinitely last week.
