SANZAR Executive Committee meeting concludes in Dubai

The SANZAR Executive Committee has today held constructive and robust discussions around the future of SANZAR competition structures for 2011 and beyond. SANZAR remains confident that it will be in a position to present a compelling offer to its broadcast partners by the end of June.

The Executive Committee was provided with a detailed options paper by the joint Working Party involving representatives from all three National Unions and the Players Associations of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

SANZAR has appointed a dedicated project manager who will continue to work with the Working Party in refining the preferred competition structures for Super Rugby and Tri Nations.

This will see an expansion in the format of Super Rugby with geographically based conferences and expanded finals.

The Executive Committee also considered a further report from Argentina and has asked the Working Party to perform further analysis on the viability of Argentina joining the Tri Nations.
