Springboks need one more victory to win Rugby Championship

World Cup champions, the Springboks, need just one more victory from their remaining three matches to win the Rugby Championship for the first time since 2019.

They retained their unbeaten record with a hard-fought 31-27 victory over the All Blacks at Ellis Park yesterday.

Their task was made a little easier when Australia snatched a last-gasp victory over Argentina in La Plata early this morning South African time.

The Wallabies converted a penalty as the siren sounded for a 20-19 victory, their first of the Championship.
