The Rugby Championship has been running since August, but as it heads into its final round, the tournament feels more open than ever. Last year’s winners, South Africa (Springboks), came in as favourites to defend their crown against the Wallabies (Australia), All Blacks (New Zealand), and Pumas (Argentina). Instead, 2025 has thrown up a rare deadlock: each team has won twice and lost twice, leaving no clear leader heading into the last double-header.

South Africa still holds the edge with 15 points and a huge +55 difference, but New Zealand are right behind on 14 and looking to spoil the party. Australia sit on 11, fighting to avoid a third Wooden Spoon in a row, while Argentina linger on 9, still chasing their first title in 13 years.

It all sets up a finale heavy with history and pressure. For the Pumas, it’s about breaking through. For the Wallabies, it’s survival. And for the Springboks and All Blacks, the rivalry that has defined the competition for more than a decade is once again at the heart of the title fight.

Here’s how to watch the Rugby Championship 2025 live online from anywhere:
