(Reuters) - Super Rugby's Trans-Tasman competition has abandoned plans for a "super round" this year, where all 10 teams would play in a single city in one weekend, but will explore the concept in the future, New Zealand Rugby's Chris Lendrum said on Wednesday.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Tuesday the country would allow quarantine-free visits from Australia from April 19, raising the likelihood that the competition scheduled to begin on May 14 will go ahead.
