The Rugby Championship format
Originally “The Tri-Nations Tournament”, the contest was held annually between South Africa's Springboks, New Zealand's All Blacks and Australia's Wallabies. The inclusion of Argentina’s Los Pumas in 2012 prompted the name change. Along with the Six Nations, it is one of the pre-eminent annual rugby union tournaments in the world. The first Tri-Nations tournament was held in 1996 and was won by New Zealand. Now re-branded as the Rugby Championship, teams play each other in a round robin format, both home and away. As you can imagine, the distances that the teams travel is staggering - Buenos Aire and Sydney are over 11,000 kilometres apart! While Cape Town and Auckland are just as distant. If you are looking to buy Rugby Championship tickets, it's best to choose where to watch the matches as you may be faced with a hefty airline ticket otherwise!
