Ross Sutherland head coach John Mann hopes Scottish Rugby will use the current suspension to restructure the Caledonia North Leagues.

No matches will be played for the foreseeable future thanks to efforts to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Mann does not expect to be given the chance to play their remaining games, but would like to see the SRU take a more radical approach than just ending the season with current standings.

“I think the season is probably going to be knocked on it’s head for this year, so it’s interesting to see what’s going to happen,” Mann explained.
