Опубликованно 26.09.2020 09:15

Having been forced back to the drawing board due to COVID restrictions, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina will now play a brutal schedule that features double headers every weekend.

While venues have been locked in, start times are yet to be confirmed.

SANZAAR CEO Andy Marinos said: “It has taken a lot of hard work to get to this point. While the rescheduling and reconfiguration of the Super Rugby season has not been ideal, all the member unions have been committed in getting rugby back on the field. Our broadcasters and commercial partners have been fantastic in working with us and continually adapting in what has been a very dynamic environment.

“While the rescheduling and reconfiguration of the Super Rugby season has not been ideal all the member unions have been committed in getting rugby back on the field and the culmination of this will be the TRC in Australia.

“I would like to thank all of our Unions and their staff for their dedication and hard work since the onset of this pandemic. Our Broadcasters and Commercial partners have been fantastic in working with us and continually adapting in what has been a very dynamic environment.

“It is fantastic to be able to take matches to three cities - Brisbane, Newcastle and Sydney. The six double-header Saturdays are a first for the tournament and will produce an exciting feast of rugby for spectators.”
