Asia Rugby (AR) has cancelled its first half match schedules up until 30 June. Further, their June council meeting which was to take place in Kyrgyzstan’s capital city of Bishkek was also postponed due to the current health situation around the world.

In continuous efforts to set the welfare, health and well-being of players, fans, officials and administrators at the forefront, Asia Rugby has taken measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and has subsequently decided to cancel the mid-year Executive Committee and Council meetings.
