The four Southern Hemisphere rugby heavweights collide in the 2024 Rugby Championship, with New Zealand aiming to retain their crown.

The All Blacks continued their dominance of the competition in an abridged version of the annual tournament last year, beating South Africa, Australia and Argentina.

But an opening set back against the Pumas in Wellington has opened the door for the Springboks to emerge as favourites as they seek only a second title since Argentina’s addition to the championship.

The world champions showed their class in a dominant win over the Wallabies to open their campaign as they look to add more silverware to their collection.

Here’s the full schedule for the competition.
