Club rugby in Ireland has been put on hold for at least three weeks. Photo by Ramsey Cardy/SportsfileSome club rugby action in Ireland has been put on hold for the next three weeks in light of the country moving to Level 3 lockdown restrictions. The IRFU has published guidelines for the current restrictions, which have been issued to every club. As of Wednesday morning, no club matches will be permitted to take place, outside of certain exemptions, while non-contact training will only be allowed in pods of up to 15. However, professional rugby is exempt from the restrictions and will continue, as will men and women's All-Ireland League and Community Series matches, U-20 Premier matches and adult provincial qualifying league matches.
