The 2021 Oceania Rugby Under 20 Championship has been postponed.
The championship scheduled to take place on Tuesday, July 6 and Saturday, July 10, 2021, at Bond University on Gold Coast Australia has been moved after consultation with Rugby Australia and New Zealand Rugby.
“After successfully staging the 2021 PacificAus Sports Oceania Rugby Sevens in Townsville last weekend we were looking forward to the U20 Championship returning to Bond University next week,” said Oceania Rugby general manager Bruce Cook.
“This current interruption to our competition program is unfortunate but is the appropriate decision for the health and safety of the participating teams and tournament staff.”
Because of the current COVID-19 outbreak in Australia, Oceania Rugby, with the two teams determined the evolving border restrictions presented unavoidable challenges in teams and officials assembling for the matches.
Oceania Rugby continues to adjust the 2021 tournament schedule and should announce a new date in the new future.
