SANZAR renamed SANZAAR
In a host of changes, SANZAR has changed it's name to SANZAAR to acknowledge the Argentinian Rugby Union being part of the new setup.
Some of the rules include, for a team to win a BP, they must score 3 tries or more than their opponents, a replica of what is used in the TOP 14.
This is to encourage attacking free flowing rugby for the whole 80 minutes.
Also teams can now kick to touch following a penalty when time is up, this was also used in Australia for the NRC.
SANZAAR have also welcomed 9 new referees, including Argentinian Federico Anselmi and Japan's Shuhei Kubo.
