New Zealand Rugby is facing another hammer blow after the All Blacks' tests against Wales and Scotland in July were plunged into fresh doubt.

Stuff.co reports that European rugby bosses announced the indefinite suspension of the Pro 14 tournament and the cancellation of the tournament final in Cardiff on June 20th.

The All Blacks are scheduled to host Wales and Scotland in July.

Notwithstanding the fact New Zealand's borders are currently closed, the vast majority of Welsh and Scottish players are involved in the Pro 14 competition and they now face the prospect of months without rugby.

The All Blacks are due to play Wales in the first test of their two-game series at Eden Park on July 4th.
