Round 4 complete!

South Africa improve to 4-0 in the Rugby Championship, and win the Freedom Cup for the first time since 2009.

Argentina deliver a beating to the Wallabies. The match looked quite competitive at the half, with Australia holding a slim lead, but the Pumas put them to the sword in a one sided second half.

Tough loss for the Eagles but they showed a lot of grit and had some well worked tries. They'll move on to the knockouts stage where they'll likely play Fiji.

The US will take on Japan tomorrow in their final PNC group match!

The Eagles are largely unchanged after their win over Canada. JP Smith drops to the bench and Ruben de Haas earns the start at scrumhalf, his first match in a year. Helu steps into the starting lineup at lock, while Jason Damm moves to the bench

The only other change is Paul Mullen replacing Pono Davis on the bench and Chris Martina being left off in favor of Moni Tonga'uiha for a 6-2 split between forwards and backs on the bench.

Round 3 of The Rugby Championship is tomorrow! There should be two exciting contests to watch.

The Springboks play host to their rivals, the All Blacks, in Johannesburg. A few injuries have hampered the lock stocks for South Africa, but Etzebeth was greenlit and is now on the bench. Both sides look well configured and full of talent and experience for what is usually a Titanic clash. Expect some giant hits from two physical packs, and some exciting running rugby from these back lines.

Argentina host Australia, who will be trying to find some form and get themselves back in the winning column. Argentina bring a largely unchanged side that went 1-1 with the All Blacks, and this will be Agustin Creevy's final match, in his home town no less. The Pumas will want to send off their most capped player ever on a high note. The Wallabies will be looking to play spoiler, as they get a few players back from injury and personal unavailability. Nick Frost and Daniela Tupou step right into the starting lineup, where they'll hopefully add some ballast to a struggling pack.

Big cross border rivalry tomorrow!

Canada names an almost carbon copy side that played in their 28-55 loss against Japan last week. Their only change sees Cooper Coats dropped to the bench with Andrew Coe taking his spot at fullback and Takoda McMullin promoted from the bench to the starting 14.

The US has a few changes from their last match against Scotland, notably the tight five sees the additions of Jason Damm, Alex Maughan and Kapeli Pifeleti. Ryan moves from 7 to 6 and Cory Daniel gets the start at open side. In the backs, the only change is Carty moving from 15 to 10 and Mitch Wilson filling in at 15. Two potential debuts off the bench for Sean McNulty and Pono Davis, they'll be looking to make a big impact off the bench in their first ever international match.

The 2024 edition of the draft is just 8 days away, and as we have done for the 4 previous drafts, here is our mock draft ahead of the big event. This draft has a lot of exciting talent in it, and it wouldn't surprise us to see those we haven't listed get drafted or signed with MLR franchises as Undrafted Free Agents.

Sione Fukofuka names his lineup for the second match against Japan. The first match ended in a 17-17 draw and the Eagles are hoping to gain a win this time around.

Captain Tess Feury moves from fullback to the wing to replace Summer Harris-Jones and Sarah Ibarra is promoted from the bench to take up her spot in the 15 jersey. Howard and Henrich get the start in the centers and McKenzie Hawkins keeps her spot at fly half.

The forwards also see a lot of changes with only Treder, Tafuna and Ehrecke remaining in the pack from last week.

Lineups for round 2 of the Rugby Championship!

Argentina make a few minor changes with captain Julian Montoya back, Marcos Kremer moving to lock and Oviedo making his first start at 8. The backline remains largely unchanged as they try to accomplish two difficult tasks. To win 2 matches in a row over the All Blacks and win at Eden Park, where New Zealand hasn't lost in decades. The All Blacks bring Tamaiti Williams into the starting front row, but their pack remains otherwise the same. In the backs, Caleb Clarke, Ioane and Will Jordan start to try and bring more pace and power to the backline and redeem their lose.

The Boks bring an experimental side with several young faces (though all with some international experience). Their bench is still loaded with talent and experience. The Wallabies brought in reinforcements in the form of Nic White and Koroibete, they'll look to rebound after last week's embarrassing loss.

It's been quite the turnaround for Argentina in their matchups with New Zealand!

What an exciting first round of the Rugby Championship!

The Books were rampant against Australia and came away with a dominating win. Arendse was particularly brilliant, finishing with a hat trick. The Australians will be licking their wounds and trying to figure out what went wrong, they were held scoreless until the final 5 minutes of the match.

The Pumas have upset New Zealand in Wellington, it's their third victory over the mighty All Blacks. Creevy scored the decisive try to put Argentina in front, a couple kicks extended their lead, and they never looked back. Luckily for New Zealand, they'll rematch at the fortress that is Eden Park next weekend.

The lineups have all been announced for the first round of the 2024 Rugby Championship!

The Books will be looking to shake off the troubles they've had playing in Australia. Meanwhile, the Wallabies will be trying to start on a high note with new head coach Joe Schmidt. Tizzano and Reimer will be looking to have good starts to their international career, while South Africa brings a squad loaded with experience, but a 10 that will only be seeing his second international start.

The All Blacks bring an experienced squad but are looking somewhat thin at lock due to several recent injuries. While they don't bring in any uncapped players, they do shave a number of young players in the squad. The Pumas bring a strong squad to Wellingto, where they'll be hoping to secure their 3rd ever win over New Zealand. They do so without captain Julian Montoya and a couple of other unavailable players.
