Tew holds proposal of southern hemisphere hosting June internationals

Tew holds proposal of southern hemisphere hosting June internationals
New Zealand Rugby boss Steve Tew.

New Zealand Rugby boss Steve Tew has put the brakes on a proposal to scrap the southern hemisphere's hosting of June internationals in post Rugby World Cup years.

Reports from the BBC suggested changes to the international rugby calendar in 2020 would, among other things, see northern nations no longer trek south in years following World Cups.

The BBC report claimed this proposal was set to be ratified by World Rugby in November. Tew had a different view.

Tew says they have got good conversations underway and they all know they need to make some changes. There is no perfect answer but the key thing is it will not be agreed until it is all agreed.
