The immediate future of the 2020 Vodacom Super Rugby season has been thrown into doubt after Sanzaar announced a review into the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Lions’ upcoming match against the Blues at Eden Park has been moved to an earlier kick-off time to allow for two rescheduled Sunwolves matches.
