Rugby Championship

Australia deservedly won a close, hard-fought and entertaining match, against their Tasman rivals, the New Zealand All Blacks, 27-19 at the Allianz Stadium Sydney on Saturday, August 8, in front of a capacity crowd of over 73,000. It was Australia’s first victory over New Zealand since 2011, and a timely reminder that under Michael Chieka this Australian team is to be reckoned with.

The All Blacks reinforced their dominance of world rugby by beating the Springboks at Ellis Park to win the Rugby Championship.

South Africa will be bristling with anger when the take on Australia in Cape Town on Saturday (Sept 28), following their controversial loss to New Zealand two weeks ago.

Rugby’s arch-rivals, the All Blacks and the Springboks, meet in Auckland on Saturday (Sept 14), with the Rugby Championship up for grabs.

Sparks will fly when the Wallabies play the Springboks in Brisbane this weekend—this is a must-win game for both sides.

Wellington has been shaken by a magnitude 6.8 earthquake, but it could be the All Blacks who rattle the Wallabies there, when the sides meet for the second time in the Rugby Championship this Saturday (Aug 24).

New Wallaby coach Ewen McKenzie can create history this weekend—the only thing stopping him is the All Blacks, who have held the Bledisloe Cup for a decade.
