Super Rugby season in doubt after NZ travel curbsThe Canterbury Crusaders were playing Japan's Sunwolves in Brisbane on Saturday and will be able to return home to New Zealand before the midnight Sunday deadlineSYDNEY: The Super Rugby season was in serious doubt Saturday after New Zealand ordered everyone entering the country to self-isolate for 14 days in a bid to slow the spread of coronavirus. "SANZAAR is now reviewing the full impact on the Super Rugby tournament," the governing body said, adding that its executive committee would hold an urgent meeting to decide what to do. The Canterbury Crusaders were playing Japan's Sunwolves in Brisbane on Saturday and will be able to return home to New Zealand before the midnight Sunday deadline. The tournament was already facing headwinds with fans barred not only from games in Argentina but also Australia from next weekend. New Zealand so far only has six confirmed cases of the virus and has recorded no fatalities.
