Rugby Championship predictions?

Who do think is going to win this year rugby championship played between South Africa, new zealand, Australia and argentina, and why?

I feel like the easiest choice would be to back the Boks because they are currently ranked number 1 and they have a lot of experience and class to draw from, but NZ are always dangerous and they can beat anybody. They also have a winning record against the Boks.

Aus has had the tough warmup of playing the Lions, and they are looking pretty solid against them. I think they will be well prepared and very good come Championship time.

Argentina has shown that they can win against all of the teams in the comp, just as they did last year.

I’m leaning towards South Africa winning the 2025 Rugby Championship. They’re the defending champs, ranked number 1, and have a deep, experienced squad. New Zealand’s always a threat with their winning record against the Boks, but I think South Africa’s consistency gives them the edge. Australia’s battle-hardened from the Lions series, so they could surprise, especially with Joe Schmidt’s coaching. Argentina’s dangerous too, having beaten everyone last year, but their consistency might be an issue. Boks to take it, just.

All Blacks will beat South Africa this time.It would be a nice revenge

As a Bok supporter myself, I hope you are right.

The games in NZ will be massive for the Boks. Trying to beat NZ at a stadium they haven't lost at for over 50 years will be a huge challenge for them.

I hope not, but NZ is due one back at SA for sure.

They do look to be in the drivers seat at the moment, but things can change quick if ARG deliver one of their big performances in the last match.
