The Rugby Championship Goes to England!

That's right. The Southern Hemisphere's premier rugby competition, The Rugby Champion, will be heading north for the first time! SANZAAR have confirmed that Australia and Argentina will clash at the home of English rugby, Twickenham.

So what does this mean? Why are Southern Hemisphere teams making a move to play in the north? Is there a market for it? Why are SANZAAR not sticking to the schedule that's worked for so many years? These are all questions i'm sure many will be asking and i'm sure SANZAAR asked themselves these very questions before making any sort of decision. It will be interesting to see these questions answered as they game nears. Let's just hope that the north don't poach southern competitions like they poach the southern players.

SANZAAR have also decided to implement the new Super Rugby bonus points system to the rugby championship as well. This means that now, teams will need to score three or more tries over their opponent to score the bonus point. Which hopefully sees more attacking rugby being played.

At the end of the day, sporting competitions are like tv shows. Every now and then, a little change up is needed to keep things fresh.

Exciting times ahead.
