SYDNEY : The governing body of southern hemisphere rugby, SANZAAR, has apologised for any confusion about the prospect of the Rugby Championship moving from its traditional August to October window to earlier in the year.
The move gained more credence when Rugby Australia Chairman Hamish McLennan, who is also the current chairman of SANZAAR, told a podcast he would back it, leaving New Zealand Rugby alone to decide whether to veto the idea. Although it would require a wholesale restructuring of provincial rugby in Australia and New Zealand, McLennan said he would support it if it prevented South Africa leaving the Rugby Championship for the Six Nations or an equivalent.
"If we can move the global calendar around so it's all in sync we can preserve the Rugby Championship," he said.South Africa is committed to remaining in the Rugby Championship until 2030.
