Authorities have decided not to allow spectators for the Sri Lanka Rugby League match between Kandy Sports Club and CH & FC scheduled to be played tomorrow (3rd).
The match was originally scheduled to be played at the Colombo Racecourse grounds. However, it was later decided that the game would be played at the Welisara Navy Grounds.
Though an official reason for the relocation and decision to disallow spectators was not provided, it is believed that this decision was taken anticipating possible public protests tomorrow at the match.

Rugby fans have taken to Social Media to criticize the move to deprive the fans to witness that match while many have urged Kandy SC to boycott the match.
