SA Rugby has expressed the desire to host the remainder of the Rugby Championship in South Africa after the cancellation of the Springboks’ scheduled fixtures in New Zealand.
Sanzaar announced overnight that the latest outbreaks of Covid-19 in Australia and New Zealand had caused massive disruption to the tournament’s match schedule. This followed the tightening of regulations placed on travel and quarantine by various state and national governments.
Sanzaar said it was “working night and day with all stakeholders, and the tournament’s associated commercial partners and rights-holding broadcasters, to find a suitable solution for the remaining matches” of the Rugby Championship. “We are now well-versed in turning on rugby Tests within the prevailing Covid restrictions and have the venues and accommodation necessary. We just need the go-ahead.”
