The Thursday Two-up: Time for a rethink?

After a wild weekend of Rugby Championship matches, I'm glad we're not tipping these games. This year's edition is one of the more open in recent years. The teams still have plenty to work on ahead of Round 4 games this weekend.

It might be time for a rethink on the Thursday Two-up.

The Rugby Championship is in its third round. The All Blacks and The Springboks were the favourites after Round 2. Los Pumas are the new favourites. The Rugby Championships is taking place in 2022. There are four teams in the tournament. They play each other twice. If the results of the last weekend are reversed, there will be a final full of unknowns. South Africa have two games left away from home. Argentina's draw might work against them. Their last two matches are in Hamilton, Buenos Aires and Durban. It's possible that they will need to win two of their remaining games to take the title. This is the second time Brett has asked the question.

The Pumas have to improve their set piece and put the All Blacks under pressure. Brett believes that playing the perfect game is the biggest challenge for the Wallabies. The All Black's are under immense pressure to rectify last weekend's defeat and salvage their fate in this competition. The Wallaby's have not won many games together recently. They play their first international match at the new Sydney Football Stadium. It's the first game there. There are also changes to be made to the lineout, scrum and the breakdown. A 50% improvement in these three areas will make a big difference. All the players need to focus on the game and play the next move without looking at score.
