The remainder of this year's World Rugby Sevens Series has been cancelled over the coronavirus, the sport's governing body said, with the flagship Hong Kong tournament among five events called off.
According to AFP, tournaments in Langford in Canada, London, Paris, Singapore and Hong Kong will not be played this year, with the men's and women's titles both awarded to pacesetters New Zealand.
“The decision follows detailed and constructive dialogue with the host and participating unions, and has been taken with the health and wellbeing of the rugby community and the wider public as top priority,” a World Rugby statement said.
