WOB I'm lost.
Wouldn't this mean 10 games in a season for Aus; 8 for NZ?
I presume this is Argentina playing Aus, twice in any year, so one game per season for 1/2 Aus conference. None for the other half.
Also for Aus teams 2 games in a season v SA.
WOB I must be reading this wrong? I don't get a 6 tally.
There's nothing on the official SANZAAR website but in today's Hurld Gregor Paul claims the draw is in for a radical overhaul from 2021:
Australia v NZ home & away every year
Wouldn't this mean 10 games in a season for Aus; 8 for NZ?
Argentina v SA home & away every year
Australia v Argentina two at home one year, two away the next, v SA two away one year two at home the next
NZ v Argentina & SA opposite to Australia's draw

It's hidden behind the Hurld's partial pay wall but that's the guts of it: still six matches per team per year but clearly some years will be more challenging than the previous one. Allegedly in the interests of cutting the amount of travel players are required to do & purely coincidental that it will cut costs. Also you may have noticed the complete absence of Fiji and/ or Japan (unless of course they're somehow going to be tacked on or shoe-horned in somewhere).
Again, nothing on the SANZAAR site but I can't imagine GP has just made it all up.
