2024 Rugby Championship Predictions: Round 2

We have the same pair of fixtures ahead of us this weekend, and perhaps it will make for some easy picks.

Here are my Rugby Championship predictions for Round 2:

New Zealand v Argentina

The Pumas win was a huge shock last weekend, and I suspect we’ll see a response from the All Blacks, on a revenge mission, at Eden Park where they are never beaten. It would be an even bigger shock if Argentina can make it back-to-back wins, but I can’t see it happening. Prediction: New Zealand by 13

Australia v South Africa

Having smashed the Wallabies last weekend, the Springboks are resting most of their starting team, but they should still have too much for the hosts. And it’s testament to their strength in depth that it still looks like a very strong lineup, despite only retaining 5 players. This ought to be another comfortable win for the Boks as they overpower their hosts again. Prediction: South Africa by 16
