What was intended as the 2020 Rugby Championship between Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina was briefly thrown into chaos when the world champion Springboks were forced to withdraw due to issues surrounding the coronavirus.
It was ultimately decided to push ahead with a Tri Nations tournament involving the remaining countries. The name will be familiar to rugby fans as Australia, New Zealand and South Africa contested a Tri Nations competition annually from 1996 through to 2011. Fun fact: Rugby Australia possesses the original Tri Nations trophy after the Wallabies won it in 2011.
South Africa claimed last year's Rugby Championship, ending the All Blacks' three-year winning run. So a new champion will be crowned in 2020 in a tournament being held entirely in Australia due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. All the details, including viewing options, are below.

The Wallabies have shown some progress in their brief time under new coach Dave Rennie. They also received a significant boost when it was announced the entire tournament would be held in Australia. Argentina are also a tough competitor and will be intent on showing they are a genuine threat. Yet in the absence of the world champion South Africans, we find it hard to go past a victory here for the All Blacks.
