New Zealand rugby chiefs are not resting on their laurels if the Rugby championship, set for November and December will be canceled.
The New Zealand Rugby Herald reports that several opponents, including the Springboks, could face the All Blacks during the World Rugby international window at the end of the year.
Currently the Rugby Championship is still scheduled to go ahead but SANZAAR bosses will meet on Thursday to make a final decision.
If the competition is canceled, the All Blacks could face the Springboks, the Wallabies or possibly Japan, who withdrew from the scheduled 8 Nations tournament in the Northern Hemisphere during the same period.
New Zealand was initially chosen to host the Rugby Championship due to its low Covid-19 numbers, but with that on the rise again, there is even a possibility that if the tournament continues, it will take place in Australia.
Both countries have successfully held their own in-house Super Rugby competitions in recent months.
What ends up happening, however, is based on what SANZAAR decides to do with the Rugby Championship.
