South Africa consider SANZAR split

A split looks to be quickly brewing in southern hemisphere rugby after South Africa conceded it was exploring the possibility of breaking away from SANZAR.

Dr Jan Marais, the chairman if the South African Rugby Union (SARU), admitted in a weekend newspaper that the relationship with counterparts from Australia and New Zealand, the other two countries that are part of SANZAR, the body that governs the sport in the three nations, had taken a knock in recent months.
