The All Blacks won't travel to Perth on Sunday, as New Zealand Rugby also confirmed that the two scheduled home tests against South Africa have been cancelled.

Perth had been pencilled in to host the Rugby Championship, with the All Blacks to be joined by South Africa and Argentina travelling into Western Australia.

The All Blacks were due to face the Wallabies in the third Bledisloe Cup test on August 28.

Newshub reports those plans have been scuppered by New Zealand's COVID-19 outbreak, as quarantine free travel to Australia has been suspended.

The situation would have meant the All Blacks would have been away from home until November, also due to travel to the northern hemisphere for the end of year tour.

Instead, the All Blacks will stay in New Zealand until the Rugby Championship's schedule is finalised.
