All Blacks close in on another Rugby Championship title

With four wins in their opening four matches and two rounds remaining in the competition, the All Blacks are all but certain to retain the Rugby Championship.

They are currently leading the standings with 20 points while World Champions South Africa is second with 10 points.

South Africa is the only team with the slightest of chance to beat the All Blacks to top spot, who they face twice in the next two rounds.

To do so, South Africa must beat the All Blacks by a bonus point in both matches, deny New Zealand any bonus point and overturn a differential of 90 points which seems highly unlikely.

Despite back to back victories over the Springboks, the Wallabies are out of the title race while Argentina is last with zero points.

The All Blacks will meet the Springboks at 7.05pm Saturday and the Wallabies face Argentina at 10.05pm.
