Rugby Championship kicks off amid uncertain future
rugby union The annual Rugby Championship, featuring World Cup title-holders South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina, kicks off on Saturday amid uncertainty over its future. New Zealand will do an eight-match tour of South Africa next year, including three tests, during the August to October window when the Championship is staged. That tour is aimed at boosting the coffers of the two national rugby bodies, and rules out the Springboks and All Blacks being involved in a double-round Championship as well. Australia are set to host the 2027 Rugby World Cup and the Championship has always been reduced from a double to single round in years when the global showpiece takes place. Adding to the long-term uncertainty is South Africa agreeing to an eight-match tour of New Zealand in 2030. Record four-time world champions South Africa and Australia get what could be the last six-round Rugby Championship, at least for the foreseeable future, underway at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. A few hours later, nine-time Championship winners New Zealand take on Argentina in Cordoba. Pre-Championship discussions among Springbok supporters centered around the chances on September 6 of South Africa defeating greatest rivals New Zealand in Auckland for the first time since 1937. The matches against Australia -- they clash again on August 23 in Cape Town -- were rarely discussed as the fortunes of the Wallabies had hit rock bottom in the past two years. Australia created unwanted history at the 2023 World Cup in France by failing to make the knockout stages for the first time. Last year, they suffered a 40-point loss in Argentina, one of five defeats in six Championship matches. But the just completed three-test series against the British and Irish Lions saw dramatic test-by-test improvement, culminating in a 22-12 triumph in the last encounter under a Sydney deluge. Australia lost the series 2-1, but impressed with their physicality and passion, with Lions coach Andy Farrell among their cheerleaders. "I think special things are going to happen for this team (Australia) over the next 18 months. By the time the World Cup comes round, they will be a force to reckon with," he said. South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus was particularly impressed with the work of the Australian pack, led by captain and No 8 Harry Wilson, at the breakdowns. This was an area where the Springboks did not always impose themselves when beating Italy twice and Georgia comfortably in warm-up matches. "They (Australians) really fight hard at the breakdowns and clean out well. We have to nullify that threat," said Erasmus. While South Africa have become wary of Australia, tradition favors a home victory as the Springboks have won 10 of 11 tests against the Wallabies at Ellis Park. In Cordoba, New Zealand will be favored to beat Argentina, but the days when an All Blacks victory over the Pumas was taken for granted are over. Three-time World Cup winners New Zealand won 28 of the first 29 tests against the South Americans, with the other drawn. But the unpredictable Pumas have won three of 10 internationals between the countries since, two of which came in Christchurch and Wellington. "We want to play fast and be really strong at the set-pieces. Our team is really trying to find its identity this year," All Blacks prop Fletcher Newell told reporters in Cordoba. New Zealand warmed up with a hat-trick of victories over France, who lacked many resting stars, including scrum-half Antoine Dupont. Argentina confirmed their hard-to-fathom form by beating the British and Irish Lions in Dublin, then losing twice at home to a severely-weakened England. "The key is to give our backs a plentiful supply of ball. They have the ability to cause problems for any opponents," said Argentina loose forward Marcos Kremer. © 2025 AFP

Injuries shake up Wallabies' flyhalf options ahead of Rugby Championship

(AP Photo/Pat Hoelscher) rugby union Tom Lynagh 's concussion and Noah Lolesio 's neck injury leaves utility Ben Donaldson, 35-year-old James O'Connor or rookie Tane Edmed as Australia's flyhalf options for Rugby Championship tests in South Africa. Rugby Australia unveiled a 35-man squad Thursday for the two tests against the World Cup champion Springboks, making injury-enforced changes to the squad that won the third test in a 2-1 series loss to the British and Irish Lions. Edmed went on as a replacement in his one and only test to date — a narrow loss to Ireland last November — and wasn't in the Wallabies squad for the series against the Lions. O'Connor, a 64-test veteran who played for the Super Rugby-winning Crusaders in New Zealand last season, was in the wider Wallabies squad preparing for the Lions series but not selected for test matches. He hasn't played for Australia since 2022. Donaldson went on as a replacement for Lynagh in the third test after the 22-year-old playmaker sustained a concussion from an illegal tackle from Lions hooker Dan Sheehan that resulted in a four-game suspension for the Irishman. An injury to Jake Gordon has delayed veteran scrumhalf Nic White's international retirement. White, regular finisher Tate McDermott and uncapped Ryan Lonergan were the scrumhalves picked for the squad to take on South Africa in two tests on Aug. 16 in Johannesburg and Aug. 23 in Cape Town. Lonergan is one of three uncapped players in the squad, along with winger Corey Toole and former New Zealand All Blacks prop Aidan Ross, who joined the Queensland Reds from the Chiefs following the Super Rugby final. Backrower Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, who played in three tour games against the Lions but wasn't part of the Wallabies set up, has returned to the top squad. 'It's pleasing to be able to keep the core of the group together, while also leaning on some depth and fresh bodies,:" Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt said. "We're very conscious of how difficult it is going to be, playing South Africa on their home turf over two consecutive weekends. 'The group has made some positive steps throughout the start of the test season but we all know there is a lot of hard work ahead of us.' Australia squad: Forwards: Angus Bell, Nick Champion De Crespigny, Nick Frost, Langi Gleeson, Tom Hooper, Fraser McReight, Josh Nasser, Zane Nonggorr, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Billy Pollard, Tom Robertson, Aidan Ross, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Will Skelton, James Slipper, Carlo Tizzano, Taniela Tupou, Rob Valetini, Jeremy Williams, Harry Wilson. Backs: Ben Donaldson, Tane Edmed, Josh Flook, Len Ikitau, Max Jorgensen, Andrew Kellaway, Ryan Lonergan, Tate McDermott, James O'Connor, Hunter Paisami, Dylan Pietsch, Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i, Corey Toole, Nic White, Tom Wright. © Copyright 2025 The Associated Press.

World Rugby is determined that the expanded 24-team tournament be accessible to as many people as possible and more than a million tickets for every stage will be priced at under A$100. At the other end of the scale, those who want to guarantee their access to tickets can purchase one of 2,027 "Superfan passes," which for A$750 will entitle them to buy tickets for any of the 52 matches, including the final.
