Former All Blacks coach Sir Graham Henry has called for a completely fresh approach to both the Rugby Championship and Super Rugby, including promotion/relegation, and teams from Fiji, Japan and the United States.

The COVID-19 outbreak has left NZ Rugby scrambling to finance the game.

While Henry believes rugby in New Zealand will survive the pandemic, that may only prove a temporary fix, if the structure of the season remains the same.

The 2011 Rugby World Cup-winning coach believes the money that Japan and the United States can invest back into the sport makes them appetising partners, with the second-tier nations set to benefit on the field.

Henry told Newshub that the future is having those three sides playing against the other Super Rugby and Rugby Championship teams.

He says they are the three sides that have made an impression at Rugby World Cups in recent times.

Henry further says having regular internationals against Fiji, USA and Japan would be a real positive step forward.
