The Rugby Championship starts this Saturday.

It will be played over 6 rounds, but not a proper home and away double round robin.

Argentina will host Australia twice; Australia will host South Africa twice; South Africa will host New Zealand twice; and New Zealand will host Argentina twice.

I'm celebrating by ordering a takeaway delivery from my local Argentine restaurant

 

EDIT - Actually I'm not. They cancelled on me. I can only imagine everybody was too drunk to deliver after celebrating.

There is a misunderstanding here. The so-called challengers are the minnows, while those who can cause an upset are the real "challengers" as we may understand it.
