A summit meeting in London has concluded that there will be changes to Super Rugby, with details set to be released early next week. Sanzaar, the body which runs Super Rugby and the Rugby Championship, has released a statement that says the future shape of Southern Hemisphere rugby will be unveiled after the member nations have had time to detail the plans to their respective stakeholders. "This includes final consultation within the national unions and discussion with key stakeholders that would allow the adoption of changes proposed by the strategic plan. "Sanzaar will make a formal statement on the future of the organisation, Super Rugby and the tournament format in the coming days once these further meetings have been concluded." Sanzaar's member unions were in London to discuss both the short and longer term future of Super Rugby.
