LONDON - World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont believes that the"spirit of collaboration" the sport has witnessed in response to the coronavirus pandemic will lead to a new international calendar.
This week saw the world governing body launch a US$100 million virus relief package and Beaumont, 68, has been heartened by the co-operation shown by countries as they plan for a time when rugby can resume. "You have to look at the calendar - the British and Irish Lions tour every four years, the Rugby World Cup every four years," added Beaumont, himself a former Lions skipper."But I think in the past people have been quite protective about what they have got, what we are looking at now, this is probably a reality check for the sport - are we doing things correctly?
The All Blacks accepted a 50 per cent pay freeze on Thursday as New Zealand's players' association said it was preparing for the nightmare scenario of no more professional rugby this year.
