Defiant Sanzaar boss Andy Marinos still believes the Rugby Championship can still go ahead, possibly as early as late October.

Despite Covid-19 forcing the cancellation of the July inbound tests, and the 16-team Super Rugby competition having been ditched, Marinos refuses to accept the Rugby Championship would also be a victim of the pandemic.

While Sydney-based Marinos said he couldn’t put a deadline on when a decision would be made, he remains optimistic the four-nation tournament would be staged in 2020 - probably in New Zealand and Australia.

Marinos told Stuff.Co.NZ that that they remain very positive about that.

He adds obviously the biggest elephant, or anomaly, in the room is what sort of restrictions that could come in, so they always have to be guarded by governments and health authorities around that.
