What the competition is
The official competition overview establishes its international identity. The participating nations’ club or franchise competitions do not contribute results to the same table. International calendars are changing, so a historical annual date pattern should not be turned into a current fixture list. Tour matches and other international competitions also need their actual event names.
Following the competition
Save the year, round and venue with each national-team pairing. The same countries can meet in different contexts, and a broad rivalry label does not establish which trophy or table is involved. For an Australian calendar, use the host city’s local date before conversion; matches across the SANZAAR region do not share a single permanent offset.
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Level | National-team rugby union. |
| SANZAAR context | Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. |
| Super Rugby | A separate club/franchise competition. |
| Calendar | Use the current published competition programme. |
