Tyrel Lomax wasn't the only player who was cited and suspended after last week's round:
The FPRC accepted a guilty plea from Santiago Socino of the Jaguares for contravening Law 9.12: Stamping or Trampling. The incident occurred in the 80th minute of the match between the Sharks and Jaguares at Jonsson Kings Park in Durban on 7 March 2020.
The FPRC of Adam Casselden SC (Chairman), Eroni Clarke and Stefan Terblanche deemed the act of foul play merited a mid-range entry point of 6 weeks due to the World Rugby instructions that dictate any incident of foul play involving contact with the head must start at a mid-range level. However, taking into account mitigating factors including the Player's clean judicial record and the fact the Player has pleaded guilty at the first available opportunity, the FPRC reduced the suspension to 3 weeks.
Socino has been suspended from all forms of the game for 3 weeks, up to and including Saturday 4 April 2020.

What's the over/under on number of days until this stance changes?

@KiwiMurph Yeah, as soon as a host country/province/city imposes restrictions on events, SANZAAR will have to follow and make changes. But it seems unlikely that there will be more changes for this weekend's games.

Less than two weeks IMO, my guess is next Wednesday.

An ideal soultion to cut down on the inter-country transfer of the virus would be to have all teams assemble in one conutry, self quarantine them for two weeks and then play all the games in Wellington............................................
