In Review
A beat down in Cape Town, and a good game in La Plata. The All Blacks wrapped up the tournament, but the Pumas still have a shot at third place.
Quick Picks
The penultimate round of the Rugby Championship is on deck this weekend, and sees the return of a couple veterans, and the addition of a couple newbies. Predictions are ahead!
Team of the Week
It wouldn’t be far-fetched to just pick the All Blacks in their entirety for this week’s selection, but there were in fact some very strong performances among the other sides.
In Review
A tale of two games – one full of drama and intrigue, the other plodding and uninspired. Little changed in the grand scheme of things, but an upset seems imminent.
Quick Picks
The battle for world supremacy, at least according to the IRB rankings, takes place in Auckland. The winner takes the spoils. In Perth, meanwhile, Australia have it all to lose.
Team of the Week
You won’t find any Australian forwards here, but amazingly there was room for one back. The rest of the team pretty much picks itself, provided you look beyond tackle stats.
In Review
A solid win for New Zealand over Argentina in tough weather at Waikato Stadium, and a big win for the Springboks over a very poor Australian team at Suncorp stadium.
Quick Picks
After a weekend off the Rugby Championship returns with two exciting games on either side of the Tasman. A few big names have returned from injury, so let’s get started!
Team of the Week
A better week in terms of individual performances this time, in large part thanks to Argentina who were up for it at home. Sadly, no North Americans were worth mentioning.
In Review
Chalk up another win for the All Blacks, a complete of Argentina in Mendoza, and a game of who can play worse in Toronto as we review the weekend’s results.
