Rugby Championship: Round Six fixtures, match officials, global kick-off times and TV coverage
Split with New Zealand v Australia and South Africa v Argentina.
The 2024 Rugby Championship enters its final round on Saturday with a replay of last weekend’s battles set to take place in different locations this time around.
The All Blacks retained the Bledisloe Cup yet again with a shaky 31-28 win over trans-Tasman rivals the Wallabies in Sydney. Both teams travel to Wellington for the second Test in the famous rivalry as Scott Robertson’s men look for an 80-minute performance at home.
In Santiago last weekend Los Pumas pulled off a massive upset beating the Springboks 29-28 in a thriller that puts them in contention to steal the title from the world champions. It will take some doing as the South Africans still hold a five-point lead on the table. It’s all set up for a massive occasion which will likely headline Eben Etzebeth becoming the most capped Springbok in history.
