Super Rugby was to have proceeded with teams from New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Argentina, following the axing of Japan's Sunwolves from 2021. But Mediaworks says sources have revealed "Sanzaar's days of running the (Super Rugby) competition appear to be over from next year". New Zealand Rugby announced in April that it would expand an existing review into Super Rugby. Meanwhile, Sanzaar boss Andy Marinos remains optimistic about playing the Rugby Championship later this year and that a full Super Rugby competition will continue as normal next year.
