SANZAAR have confirmed they are still hopeful of running the Rugby Championship in 2020 despite the Covid-19 pandemic, revealing they are now working to play the entire tournament in New Zealand.
SANZAAR chief executive Andy Marinos revealed the update in a statement this morning.
Marinos says having successfully restarted Super Rugby this year in Australia and New Zealand their focus is now on The Rugby Championship that is set to be played in one central location.
He says they have determined that New Zealand is currently the favoured option given the Covid stability within the region.
Critical to this, however, is alignment with the New Zealand Government around its requirements for this to take place.
Marinos added he hoped that details on the tournament will be announced in the near future.
The tournament features New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Argentina.
