    The All Blacks sevens are the latest team snaffled by the coronavirus outbreak.

    Players have been told to stay away from training in Mount Maunganui due to two Australian squad members getting tested for the illness after the Vancouver leg of the World Series.

    Glenn Pocknall's side also won the Super Smash T20 competition in his maiden season as coach.



    School Sport New Zealand has suspended all events on its national calendar as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.

    Two footballers have been dobbed in for socialising when they were meant to be in coronavirus self-isolation.
