They have followed in the wake of their footballing counterparts by suspending all domestic games.

The decision has been taken that from Sunday, March 15 there will be no club rugby or training until March 29.

This will impact rugby in all domestic league and cup fixtures, training, festivals and other rugby events as well as the FOSROC Super6 tournament, which come under Scottish Rugby's jurisdiction, including Kirkcaldy who had no game scheduled for this weekend due to the Six nations, which has also been called off.

During this suspension period Scottish Rugby will undertake further assessment and advise on any further action that may be required.

A Scottish Rugby spokesperson said: “We have taken on board all expert medical advice before now and we are taking a precautionary approach to give time to assess what the impact of coronavirus will be on Scottish society in the coming weeks before deciding on next steps.

"This decision has been taken with the best interest of everyone involved in the game and in support of the country's work to address the impact of coronavirus."
