The NRL has cancelled its Magic Round in Brisbane due to the current coronavirus pandemic.

The competition said it had no option but to cancel the event in 2020 as the health situation continues to worsen in Australia.

The Magic Round will return in 2021 when everything is hopefully back to normal.

NRL chief commercial officer, Andrew Abdo, said: “These are challenging times for our community and our game, but we had to take this action as there was simply no other option.
