Anticipated Outcomes for Rugby Championship Matches - Sixth Round
weekends are fired up as the Rugby Championship comes down to a nail-biting finale! Quintin van Jaarsveld is back to dish out his predictions for the epic showdowns ahead. Let's dive in!
All Blacks vs Wallabies
Saturday, 28 September - 9:05
The All Blacks and Wallabies face off in Wellington for the last hurrah of their Rugby Championship campaigns.
Rematch in Wellington
The All Blacks' 31-28 victory against the Wallabies in Sydney last week secured the Bledisloe Cup once more. But the Kiwis were wayward in the discipline department, earning two late yellow cards that almost cost them. Wellington has proven a hard nut to crack for the black jersey, having lost their last five games there. The Wallabies see an opportunity to turn the tables in the Land of the Long White Cloud.
South Africa vs Argentina
Saturday, 28 September - 17:00
The Pumas managed to snap South Africa's unbeaten run in the Rugby Championship and take the world No. 1 ranking in a thrilling 29-28 victory. With one log point needed to clinch the title, the Springboks are expected to be furious and focused in their quest for revenge in Nelspruit.
The Pumas have made history by defeating the Boks, All Blacks, and Wallabies in the same campaign for the first time and are going for a maiden Rugby Championship title. However, the home side, with their top players returning, will look fresher and fiercer than their counterparts.
South Africa's performance in the 2021 Rugby Championship has been impressive, with their attack evolving and defence remaining strong. The main area of concern is the inability to produce an 80-minute performance. But, being at home, the Springboks want to show their might and assert dominance on the field.
Los Pumas have struggled to maintain consistency, but, with the chance to claim the Southern Hemisphere title, they'll bring their A-game to Nelspruit. Their backline can be dangerous with ball in hand and highly efficient in punishing errors from the opposition. However, the gain line battles and scrum time will be challenging for Argentina.
With a burning desire for retribution and a longing to reclaim their Rugby Championship title, the Springboks are poised to deliver an emphatic statement in Nelspruit.
Prediction: South Africa wins by 20 points.
Suggested Bet: South Africa -18.5 at 1.84
