Scottish rugby season 2019/20 declared null and void

The 2019/20 domestic rugby season in Scotland has been classified as null and void, with Scottish Rugby joining its Irish, Welsh and Italian counterparts in coming to this outcome.

This decision follows the earlier interim suspension and then final closure of the season based on Government advice in relation to the Covid-19 virus.

The decision was announced on Monday in line with the previous objective of informing clubs by the end of the month.

The decision means there will be no automatic promotion or relegation.

It was was reached following an extensive consultation process involving the participating clubs, the Championship and Competition Committee members and Scottish Rugby’s own Rugby Development Department.
