As everyone is now no doubt aware, there have been new COVID recommendations for Community Sport released by NSW Health and the Office of Sport, as well as publicised suspensions of a number of school sport competitions.
Clearly this has great import for all Community Sport, not just Rugby.
We (NSW Rugby and SJRU) are working through the new recommendations with Health and Office of Sport and what it means for SJRU Competitions (Friday XVs, Sunday XVs and Frosty 7s) going forward. Included in our discussions with the government are any potential changes we may need to make to competitions, and also additional COVID safety measures we may need to put in place to continue to play. The completed ongoing draw for the Sunday XVs comp will not be distributed, until we have clarified any changes which may be necessary to that draw in response to the new government recommendations.
We urge everyone to remain compliant with public health orders in regard to COVID, to continue to train, following your COVID safety protocols and plans, and I will come back to you no later than tomorrow afternoon with an update on where to from here.
