Super Rugby organizer Sanzaar is hopeful the southern hemisphere tournament will go ahead in some form this season, possibly being played simultaneously with the Rugby Championship. International travel restrictions make it likely that if Super Rugby resumes it will be within regional conferences, with New Zealand, Australian and South African teams playing among themselves. ``We will continue to work closely with all the governments and health authorities in all the jurisdictions we are playing,'' Marinos said. Marinos said Super Rugby might be played alongside Rugby Championship test matches. New Zealand Rugby has already expressed doubt about the proposal.
