Why the Rugby Championship faces an uncertain future New Zealand Rugby and South African Rugby Union (SA Rugby)had reached agreement for quadrennial bilateral tours beginning in 2026. And the impact on The Rugby Championship will be significant. There is no word yet, though, on how the Rugby Australia and Unión Argentina de Rugby will fill their August-September Test windows in those years (in 2026, 2028 and 2030). Should Fiji Rugby Union and Japan Rugby Football Union be included in the rejigged Rugby Championship? It might be more benefit to RA and the UAR on their own arrangements. The Japanese fans are going to turn up, they’re going to fill whatever stadium they get a chance to get to, and the same with Fiji. On the side, Fiji and Japan can become conditioned to tough tests, grow in stature and ultimately become genuine top-tier rugby nations. #sports #business #coaching #world #futuro

I'm excited to announce BUCS Women’s Super Rugby officially launching, marking a pivotal step forward in the growth and professionalisation of women’s rugby union. This league is not just a competition; it’s a statement about the increasing investment, visibility, and strategic development of the women’s game. With women’s sport continuing to experience exponential growth the timing of this launch couldn’t be more fitting. The integration of a Women’s BUCS Super Rugby competition reflects the growing demand for elite-level opportunities that will serve as a critical pathway for developing future talent. We’ve already seen the significant impacts of increased funding, media attention, and sponsorship in women’s rugby globally, and it’s clear that the launch of this league will play a vital role in accelerating these trends within the university space. The competition promises to provide high-quality match experience, professional coaching structures, and greater exposure, ensuring that female athletes have the resources to excel both on and off the field. As a passionate rugby enthusiast, I’m excited to see how this will shape the future of women’s rugby and inspire a new generation of athletes. 02/09/2024 - A landmark moment for rugby union, a landmark moment for women’s sport.

This storied team embarks on quadrennial tours to face rugby powerhouses like Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Let’s delve into the rich history and exciting prospects of the Lions: 1.

The Spirit of the Lions Beyond the tries and tackles, the Lions embody sportsmanship, respect, and passion. The haka response, the camaraderie among rivals, and the shared pride in representing four nations make the Lions truly special.

#OurWorldInCharts 📊 South Africa is getting ready to take on the All Blacks in Cape Town on Saturday in the final Rugby Championship encounter between the two longstanding rivals. We took a look at the data to see what the Springboks chances are... In the test at Ellis Park on 31 August, the New Zealanders went into halftime with a single point lead. By the end of the match, the South Africans were the victors, winning with a tight 31-27, reflecting yet another fiercely contested game. What will the DHL Cape Town Stadium bring? - All Blacks have won 43 of 60 tests against SA since 1992 - Leading at half-time almost guarantees an All Blacks win (94% success) - The Springboks convert 60% of half-time leads into wins One of world rugby’s greatest rivalries is between the Springboks and the All Blacks. Since South Africa’s readmission in 1992, the two teams have faced each other in 60 tests in either home country. New Zealand has won 43 of these matches. The half-time score in these encounters has proved to be an indicator of the likely outcome. On average, the All Blacks end the first half with a lead of two points over the Springboks. Despite the margin being small, leading at the break almost guarantees a win for the New Zealanders. They have won 32 of the 34 games they led at half-time, outscoring the Springboks in the second half by an average of six points. South Africa has held the half-time lead 22 times – but they’ve only managed to turn this into victory 60% of the time. 🏉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/d-VPQmmy South African Rugby Union (SA Rugby) New Zealand Rugby #SportsStats #SportsData #Rugby #Springboks #SAvNZL #AllBlacks #SouthAfrica #NewZealand #CapeTown #DataViz #DataInsights #OurWorldInCharts

5 Fascinating Facts About South Africa vs New Zealand Rugby Rivalry 5 Fascinating Facts About South Africa vs New Zealand Rugby Rivalry The rugby rivalry between South Africa and New Zealand is one of the most intense and storied in the history of the sport. The Springboks and the All Blacks have faced off in some of the most iconic matches in rugby history. Here are five fascinating facts about this epic rivalry: 1.One of the Oldest Rivalries The first official match between South Africa and New Zealand took place in 1921, when the All Blacks toured South Africa. Since then, the two teams have faced each other more than 100 times, with both sides frequently ranked as the best teams in the world. Their long history has given rise to some unforgettable games and moments. 2.The 1995 Rugby World Cup Final Perhaps the most famous match between the two teams was the 1995 Rugby World Cup final, held in South Africa. In a dramatic and emotional contest, South Africa won 15-12 in extra time, with Nelson Mandela famously presenting the Webb Ellis Cup to Springbok captain Francois Pienaar. This match helped unite South Africa in the post-apartheid era and remains a defining moment in rugby history. 3.Intense Competitiveness Matches between South Africa and New Zealand are notoriously competitive.

Most of the key (overseas-based) players are missing from the first Springbok alignment camp of the new Rugby Word Cup cycle, but there's still a lot to be read into this group – in terms of building for the 2027 tournament in South Africa. My analysis for RugbyPass includes a depth chart based on selections for the Springboks and South Africa A team (2018-2023) as well as the invites to the first alignment camp in 2024, plus an age profile breakdown of the RWC winners and how many will be 35+ in 2027. #Springboks #youth #depth #rugby #rugbyunion https://lnkd.in/dZXX8TKu
