Rugby Top League Contact with spectators with new virus measures

With the spread of the new coronavirus, the top rugby leagues have decided to refrain from providing fan service in which players and spectators come into contact at the match venue for the time being.

Specifically, we will refrain from shaking hands, signing, and photographing after the match from Section 5 on March 15, and will make announcements at all match venues to call for cooperation.

Japan's Sun Wolves, who are participating in the world's highest league, Super Rugby, have also decided to take a similar approach on the 15th at the game held at the Chichibunomiya Rugby Field in Tokyo.

In the top league, the spectators have shown a big climax with over 300,000 spectators by the end of the fourth round. It is expected.
