Sanzaar wants more Rugby Championship matches in EuropePHIL WALTER/GETTY IMAGESRugby Championship matches in the northern hemisphere could become a more regular feature as the competition seeks to attract new audiences and take games to expatriate fans, organisers said on Thursday (Friday NZ Time). Andy Marinos, the chief executive of Sanzaar, which runs the Rugby Championship, believes it could be the start of a regular fixture in Europe. The Rugby Championship kicks off on August 20 when Australia host the All Blacks in Sydney. "The style of play in the Rugby Championship is a very exportable commodity to further increase the attractiveness of the sport. Marinos says the global trend is to take matches to new territories, but Sanzaar is focussing on England for now.
