Elton Jantjies of South Africa gets his backline going during the 2017 Castle Lager Rugby Championship game between South Africa and New Zealand at Newlands Rugby Stadium on 7 October 2017.Southern hemsiphere rugby body SANZAAR and the Six Nations have entered a consultation process aimed at creating an aligned global rugby calendar"in total transparency with unions, clubs and players", a joint statement said on Friday.
"Even though there may be different preferences, from the outset the Nations have adopted a mindset that has sought to eliminate self-interest and recognise that the international and club game have shared mutual benefits that if approached and managed correctly can enable both to flourish," a statement said.
The hope is that a global calendar will"improve player welfare" and"improve narrative and competitiveness of International and Domestic Competitions around clear windows".
