    SANZAAR is investigating a re-shaped competition structure in a bid to resume the Super Rugby season after the two-round coronavirus hiatus


    Competition boss Andy Marinos has told Sky Sport a practical option is to regionalise the competition, which would mean multiple New Zealand derbies.



    All New Zealand club and community matches have been postponed until April 18.

    The Warriors are prepared to take a calculated risk with their health, if it means the NRL season can continue amid the pandemic.

    Clubs have been told to limit public interaction to the point where players are essentially in lockdown but allowed to train and play.

    The Warriors are still set to meet the Raiders on the Gold Coast on Saturday.

    English cricketer Alex Hales has sparked the postponement of the Pakistan Super League hours before the play-offs, by reporting he has symptoms consistent with coronavirus.

    Hales, who was playing for Karachi, decided to return to England on Saturday and said he felt "fit and healthy" at the time but woke up on Sunday with a fever and a persistent cough so went into self-isolation.



    The International Olympic Committee remains committed to the Tokyo Games starting on July 24, saying the only changes required at this stage are to qualifiers.



    Tom Brady appears poised to leave the New England Patriots, his only NFL home.

    The Los Angeles Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are believed to lead the queue to sign the 42-year-old six-time Super Bowl winner.



    Next month's New Zealand Shears in Te Kuiti has been cancelled because of the crisis.

    The Great New Zealand Muster which sees thousands of sheep rattle their dags through the main street, has also been canned in line with mass gathering guidelines.
