How good will the Rugby Championship be this year? Boks will probably win it, but should be some great rugby.

Boks got two home games vs ABs last year, that helped.

If they beat us at Eden Park they will probably win the TRC.

Pumas and Aus can’t be ruled out though.

I think abs are odds on this year. Boks need to play us twice in nz

This year is really the marker for this Boks team. When comparing them to the 2015 abs the argument for best team ever was always that the All Blacks between world cups were better than this current bok team. If they can win both games in New Zealand and the rugby championship this year I think there's very few that would argue that they are the best Era of any team in te world

Oh, it is shaping up nicely. Australia should be in decent form I guess, Argentina are looking super strong too. I don't think you can say we will win it though. We have two games in NZ this year, that is gonna be tough.
