The latest iteration of the Rugby Championship will be incredibly interesting as most teams are going through times of transition.

New Zealand and Australia have seen coaches chances, with Ian Foster making way for Scott Robertson, while Eddie Jones' short time in charge of Australia is over, with Joe Schmidt now in charge.

For South Africa, the focus will be on trying to backup their World Cup win by triumphing in the Rugby Championship, something they have failed to do since 2018.

Meanwhile, Argentina will want to ensure they built on an impressive campaign in 2023 as they finished above Australia following one win in three. Toppling the likes of South Africa and New Zealand at the summit will be tough, but they will be keen to ensure the gap continues to shrink.
