The Rugby Championship organisers have wound the clock back and adopted a mini-tour format for at least the next three years saying it will restore"rugby's traditional touring values".
Instead each team will host a two-match tour and play an away two-match tour with only the third set of matches, involving New Zealand against Australia and South Africa against Argentina, remaining home-and-away. "The tournament has proved to be an important stepping stone to Rugby World Cup success for southern hemisphere teams but there is always room for improvement and innovation," SANZAAR boss Brendan Morris said.
