A team from either Japan or Singapore will be included in Super Rugby when the southern hemisphere competition expands to 18 teams in 2016.
The SANZAR chief executive Greg Peters confirmed that two parties from Asia will compete for the opportunity to join an expanded Super Rugby competition in 2016.
A decision on the successful bidder will be announced either on September or October.
The two bidders now have until mid‑August to submit formal tender documents, outlining why they are best positioned to join the international provincial rugby competition.
