This morning's Super Rugby match between the Highlanders and Jaguares has been cancelled due to the ongoing concerns towards the coronavirus outbreak.
The Highlanders were scheduled to play the Jaguares in Beunos Aires this morning as the final game of Round 7 before the competition was suspended with the game being played behind closed doors but SANZAAR has since decided to cancel the game altogether.
SANZAAR says the decision comes following concerns in response to the uncertainty created by the Highlanders players and management having to enter self-isolation upon return to New Zealand following the New Zealand government's recently announced travel restrictions.
The governing body added the decision was to allow the Highlanders to return to New Zealand before the self-isolation restrictions kick in at midnight Sunday NZT.
Under official tournament policies, the game has been officially declared a draw meaning both sides will receive two competition points in the overall standings.
