WELLINGTON - New Zealand has been confirmed as the preferred hosts of a centralised Rugby Championship later this year, pending government approval, governing body Sanzaar said on Thursday.
Both Australia and New Zealand had significant success in initially slowing the spread of the virus and have restarted professional sports competitions, although concerns have risen over new outbreaks in Australia's Victoria and New South Wales states. "We have determined that New Zealand is currently the favoured option given the Covid-19 stability within the region," Sanzaar said in a statement.
