The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) may have put an indefinite halt on Super Rugby proceedings‚ but the break is a welcome one for the table-topping Sharks.

The novel coronavirus may have put an indefinite halt on Super Rugby proceedings‚ but the break is a welcome one for the table-topping Sharks.

The Sharks coach Sean Everitt understood the unfortunate nature of the break and made peace with the fact it was beyond his hands. “Unfortunately‚ we can’t host the Chiefs next week and I think the spectators would have loved to come and watch. That’s the way it is and we can’t control that. We’ll welcome the break.”

“It’s difficult to say. We did look at it but my whole philosophy about rugby is to keep the game safe.“We can all do better in making the game safer. Whether it’s a yellow or red card‚ that’s debatable. We lost a player and it was dangerous‚ otherwise‚ he wouldn’t have gone off.”
