“This is an anxious time for us all and the mental as well as physical health of our people and their families is our priority,” director of rugby Stuart Hooper said.
“Our planned training sessions have been cancelled and those able to train from home will now do so.
“My team and I are focused on doing all we can to be ready to play our up-and-coming fixtures, but I must reinforce that I will not allow the health of our people to be compromised.”
