The Carling Currie Cup Premier Division match between the New Nation Pumas and Cell C Sharks, scheduled for Nelspruit on Wednesday, has been cancelled in line with Covid-19 protocols.
The decision to cancel the Nelspruit game was prompted by positive tests in the Cell C Sharks team, and they have informed SA Rugby that they are not able to field a team for the match without putting player welfare at risk.
