Talks were held with Sanzar (the South African, New Zealand and Australian unions), as well as Canada and the USA over proposals to put to broadcasters next year. Meetings are also scheduled with Japan, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga.
Sanzar Chief Executive, Jonathan Stones, said: “It was very much an information-sharing discussion with all parties. We gave an update on the state of Sanzar rugby at both Super 14 and Tri-Nations level and, in turn, each country presented their capabilities and vision for the future”. Stones said the results from the meetings would be discussed at the next Sanzar workshop in Perth from 15-17 July.
