Here is where the Springboks would stand in the race for the Rugby Championship title if they can defeat the All Blacks on Saturday.
As the Springboks prepare for battle against the All Blacks on Saturday inn Cape Town, the hosts also stand on the precipice of securing an elusive Rugby Championship title.A win without a bonus-point would take the Springboks to 18 log points, and they would then need to wait to see if Argentina perhaps picked up a home win over Australia later in the day .
In short, it really means that a victory of any sort for the Springboks this weekend would effectively secure them the Rugby Championship title for all intents and purposes.“It would be fantastic to achieve that as a team, but if you look too far ahead it comes back to bite you,” said Rassie Erasmus.
“They’ll also be motivated by the fact that Cape Town has been a good hunting ground for them; they’ll be inspired to make a strong statement this week.
