Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and Belfast’s Kingspan Stadium have become the latest rugby grounds in Britain and Ireland to offer its facilities in the fight against the coronavirus outbreak.

With the pandemic continuing to spread, Welsh region Scarlets earlier this week offered a large part of its Parc Y Scarlets site and buildings for free to a local authority to cope with any hospital overspill in treating Covid-19. 

Following discussions with Carmarthen County Council and the Hywel Dda University Health Board, various locations at the Welsh rugby ground were being converted for use by the NHS as an additional 500-bed to combat the growing health crisis. 

Now, WRU officials have offered up the Principality if needed, as have PRO14 outfit Ulster. Speaking to walesonline.co.uk, a WRU spokesperson explained: “We have approached the authorities and they are aware that our facilities will be made available if and when required.

“We have worked alongside the authorities over many years at our events and they are familiar with the stadium.

“This is an incredibly fast-moving and challenging time. The authorities were grateful for us getting in touch and we continue working together to monitor the situation.”

The Welsh national stadium has previous experience of being used as a temporary hospital. Previous New Year’s Eves have seen St John Wales set-up a treatment centre at the ground to cope with revellers whose celebrations take a turn for the worst.

Meanwhile, Ulster CEO Jonny Petrie said on Twitter that the department is free to use their Kingspan facility however they see fit as they tackle the pandemic. Ulster have not played at their Belfast ground since February 22.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
