The Rugby Championship is reportedly set for a last-minute relocation to Europe, as SANZAAR scrambles for solutions amid Australasia's worsening COVID-19 climate.

According to the UK's Daily Telegraph, SANZAAR is seriously considering taking the tournament to Europe - namely Paris' Stade de France, London's Twickenham, Dublin's Aviva Stadium and Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

The All Blacks were scheduled to depart for Perth on Sunday to play the third Bledisloe Cup test against Australia on August 27th, before completing their Rugby Championship slate with two tests apiece against Argentina and South Africa, which wouldn't comply with that mandate.

The tests against the Springboks were originally set to be played in New Zealand, but it's understood the squad would likely look to avoid returning home before their annual year-end European tour, which also includes a stop in the US.
