💨 Abstract

World Rugby is considering a significant overhaul of the global rugby calendar, which could align the northern and southern hemisphere seasons. This move, supported by the Springboks, aims to create a unified Test calendar. The Nations Championship, a new biennial tournament, will debut this year, with the Springboks facing northern hemisphere teams. Additionally, the All Blacks will tour South Africa in a format similar to the British & Irish Lions tours.
