The Rugby Championship closes with two close contests — the Wallabies fell short against the All Blacks in a soggy Perth, while the Springboks ground past an energised Argentina at Twickenham to claim the title.
David Pembroke and Ewen McKenzie examine the defining moments from both matches, exploring where the Wallabies fell short, how New Zealand is evolving, and why South Africa’s power game still reigns supreme. With Eddie Jones in Japan preparing for the upcoming clash with Australia, the duo go deep on selections, scrums, and the growing influence of yellow cards shaping results.
