World Rugby boss Sir Bill Beaumont has warned every nation will suffer from the fallout of the global coronavirus crisis.

Beaumont has asked all member countries' governments to help keep the game afloat, as COVID-19 has virtually wiped out all professional rugby competitions around the world, including international fixtures.

Beaumont confirmed those funds will be available for those nations in financial crisis.
